[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 541075, member: 14356"] I feel your pain. My mom has done this with my difficult child. When he moved out of the house she had meetings with him. I told her to keep the conversation generic and not delve into the issues. I knew difficult child would think I'd put her up to it. She delved into the issues and he did think I put her up to it. Didn't help at all - same as in your situation. The only way I got her attention was to be very blunt. I told her exactly what the effect of her 'meetings' were having and that they were having the opposite effect that she intended. I think she kind of got it but she still meddles a little - it did help though. I wish you well and I would be very lovingly blunt with her. Mom, I love you, I know you mean well but you can't approach X like that - he doesn't respond the way you would think, he responds by doing...... Good luck! [/QUOTE]
