We talk on the phone.

We talk about most things.

So when she doesn't talk to me, I get like really upset and anxious and I end up apologizing and then we move on from there.

Gotcha.

Yeah, they've been married for 40 years.

uh and sometimes she'll also like pick fights in front of me with him and she'll just like talk to him really mean in front of me and i'm like mom like can you stop doing that she's like well you always just put your dad on a pedestal you always take his side and and then i tell her like well you know if he did the same thing to you i would tell him the same thing but he doesn't do that and just kind of like repeats the cycle from there your mom sounds like a bully yeah she can be

I mean, you know, I love her.

She's my mom, but yeah.

Oh yeah.

She's like so mean to him.

And I'm like, you know, I've been married for five years and I tell her, I'm like, I can't imagine like talking to my husband, how do you talk to my dad?

And, you know, growing up, I kind of thought it was normal until I got married and I'm like, just like, oh my gosh, I would never, you know?

I was just wondering if you maybe had any creative ideas of things I could say to her to just like get her to understand that, you know, she shouldn't do this in front of me or, you know, call me and like complain about my dad, you know?

Always.

Yeah.

I like, like one thing that she complains about is like, sometimes she'll say something to my dad and he doesn't respond.

And I think he just needs a hearing aid.

Honestly.

And, but she gets like so mad and she like blows it up into this big thing.

Like, and the thing she says is so mean.
