All I ask for my mother to be respectful and supportive but most of the time she has zero filter and her negative attitude towards most things and others isn’t something I care for. She’s gets forceful with her opinions and it drives me mental. Then she has this opinion of me that I’m not approachable and am reactive when she tries to talk to me. Most of the time I ignore her invasive opinions And unsolicited advice but other times and gets under my skin. She’s my mom so I want to show her I am more than what she criticizes me for. It seems like a never ending struggle and I really don’t know how to not give a shit about her opinions. She manages to drag me down emotionally everytime!

She has a lot of opinions on how to parent better, my life choices, my in-laws, my house, everything
