Just because you were neglected as a child doesn't mean you should be treated like one as an adult.
I might try to use some of the skills from DBT "Interpersonal Effectiveness" section & sit down & actually have a specific discussion with her about it, not just comments in passing.
I couldn't stand it when my parents tried to treat me that way & I knew they loved me I just couldn't stand being treated like a baby when I was growing up but I always had a very independent personality
