Out of respect, I don’t quite think you understand how close my mother and I are. Me calling her out on her control tactics and expressing my feelings in response to it isn’t the start of a petty war. She laughs and nods. I laugh and nod too.
It’s the start of self awareness in breaking a cycle, and she gets what I’m trying to do and respects it.
Often she forgets, because old habits die hard, but it’s getting better
No worries at all, my relationship with her is pretty good. I guess you have to know someone before you pass judgement on them.
I was giving an instance of one of the few negative behaviours of hers. She has overwhelmingly many positive ones.

It’s the words you chose to describe your relationship here with her that I’m picking up on.
Like this would be so deeply unsettling for me to hear from a family member after I’ve cooked for them. I would be so upset.
You think your mom thinks the worst of you for no reason.
These statements made me react that way, it sounds so unhealthy and I am sorry your relationship with her is like this.

That’s good to hear :)
