    It’s the words you chose to describe your relationship here with her that I’m picking up on.

    “I was literally going to, but now I won’t out of spite”

    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.

    but it’s a hurtful thing where someone you love, thinks the worst of you for no reason.

    You think your mom thinks the worst of you for no reason.

    You know how parents can say things in a way that seem innocuous, but are used as a way to control or denigrate in some small way.

    These statements made me react that way, it sounds so unhealthy and I am sorry your relationship with her is like this.

      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.
