[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 162194, member: 1024"] If you want to have a relationship with her, then you have to set guidelines with her. If she steps over those boundaries, you need to let her know. If those boundaries are not good enough for her, than it's in her court to not have the relationship to continue. Trinity is right....being honest is one thing, but she needs to know the difference between being honest and just keeping your mouth shut. I have been known to be brutally honest, but I also know when it's not appropriate and hurtful. Sometimes brutally honest is only effective when it's asked for. If it's not asked for or not completely necessary, then keep your mouth shut. If you want to have a relationship with your mom, you have to explain that to her. [/QUOTE]
