How exactly do I do that? My mother is far too involved in my life and highly critical.
I was in hospital earlier this week and she berated me this morning because DH hadn't been in constant contact with her to let her know the details (she could have phoned him but didn't). She called both the hospital and my dc's school to find out what was going on and was cross with me that neither would give her any details.
Dh had told my sister I was in hospital and she passed it on to my mother. He was barely functioning on an hours sleep and still had to go to work, before coming back and forth to see me, so ringing people wasn't his priority.
I got an earful this morning about how I should be doing more to keep myself out of hospital and how I shouldn't be posting happy updates on FB if I'm actually heading for a crisis .
How do you get the kind of normal relationship where they don't need to know every last detail but can offer support? Is it possible to change the dynamic?
