When 'Helping' Hurts: My Mom’s Advice is Tearing Us Apart 😩
You know that feeling when someone just won’t let things go, no matter how many times you explain yourself? That’s my life with my mom. I love her, I really do, but her constant, unsolicited advice is driving a wedge between us. My brother and I are both in our 40s, and yet, she still treats us like clueless kids who can’t make a decision without her input.
Just last week, I tried to plan a simple Easter dinner, but it turned into a six-hour debate because she wouldn’t accept that the house showing times were wrong online. Every time I clarified, she circled back with the same argument. It’s exhausting. I want to spend time with her, but I never know when a conversation will spiral into a lecture. How do you get someone you love to realize their “help” is actually pushing you away? 😔
