I generally don't care about what other's think about me, but it bugs me when my mother says things to me.
My mother treats me like crap and praises my brothers. She has always made me feel like I had to win her approval as a child and I guess she expects me to obey her even though I am 23 now.
I moved out at 18 to get away from her, I got married at 21 even though she thought I should marry at 28, and my husband and I decided to start trying for a baby despite her efforts to discourage us.
I cut her off for 6 months because I was sick of her controlling behavior and making me feel like crap.
I recently started seeing her again and she is making her comments about me: I will be a bad mom in my 20's, my husband will get sick of my "bossy" behavior and leave me, I am a "miss know it all" *****, etc.
I know I shouldn't care what she thinks, but I lay in bed at night thinking about all the crap she says.
How do I stop caring what she thinks about me?
