To be fed up with my Mum?

[TheLastNigel]

My DD recently started to attend counselling (which I made the mistake of telling my Mum about). I have also attended over the last three years-we've all had a bit of shit time dealing with the break up of my marriage hence the need for it.
My Mum can't stop being negative about it.
She questions the need for it constantly.
Usually I just brush it off but I've bitten a bit today.
My Mum 'how's DD's counselling going?' Me 'fine-she seems to feel better for it'
Mum ' it must be upsetting her-it upset you didn't it' Me 'it upsets most people at first-you kind of have to get through that bit before you get better'
Mum 'Well I don't know why you'd want it. I don't know anyone that's had it'
Me' well you might know lots of people that have had it-they probably just didn't advertise it'
Mum 'no. No one I know would need it'
I Managed not to tell her that my sister had been going for years.
I should also add that I'm currently training to be a rehab counsellor myself.

I ended the call feeling really upset. The negativity is constant and has been going on forever- I'm already a bit lower contact with her than I was-I just feel so sad that she can't just be supportive instead of the way she is. Or at I Being a bit oversensitive? Fully prepared to accept that I am...

I don't think you are being over sensitive. You must feel your mum doesn't approve, that she thinks you are wrong to send your daughter to counselling. Y

I think I would be asking my mum to explain what she thinks about counselling and why she doesn't like it, really explore it with her, let her get it off her chest. Then I'd say that I respected her opinion and that v

I would be upset too. Your mum is BU and unsupportive.

..... I understand that counselling is not for her but it does help many many people including her grand daughter. Tell her that it will continue fir as long as your daughter wants it and you would appreciate it if she didn't talk about it in a negative way. Then if it comes up in conversation again, give a brief response and change the subject.

You are not being sensitive, you sound really good at expressing and managing your feelings. My DM would say similar things to me if I was to disclose any need for MH support, and then have some sort of narc event to divert attention to her. It's crackers as she regularly self medicates with heavy drinking, but pointing that out would get me the label 'no fun' - for not drinking.

I get the same from my mother...why am I upset by therapy , it's meant to maje you better. I explained that you feel worse before you feel better.
My mother's career was in the caring professions so she is well educated about therapy.
My therapist (clinical psychologist) says it's difficult for my mother to accept her children are in therapy..

Thankyou all. I think there is definitely something in that she doesn't want to accept that I (and DD) need that sort of help.
I'm just so tired of not having a Mum that's supportive-the constant picking and negativity about anything she doesn't have experience of or agree with is just so disheartening. I should be used to it by now and I'm not...I still get jealous if my adult friends that have the sort of 'let's go for lunch' relationship with their mums that I don't.
