[QUOTE="DDD, post: 468325, member: 35"] Obviously it is your decision. I'm a bit torn on the issue. What I "think" I would do (obviously not sure, lol) is choose a short simple phrase and use those words every time she makes an inappropriate or uncomfortable comment. Years ago on the Board that method was suggested for dealing with difficult child's and people advised that the phrase be written down and read to make sure it stayed identical. Possible examples "I'm sorry but I'm not prepared to discuss this again." "I am doing my best following professional advice." Then...whatever phrase you choose...end the conversation if she persists by saying "Sorry I have to go now." or "Talk to you later, Mom." End of conversation. It won't change her opinion but it will politely end the topic. That's the best I can offer. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
