This resonates a lot. My mom is not abusive by any means but she vacillates between supportive/caring and highly critical/competitive, and I avoid interaction since I don't know which I'm going to get. It makes a lot of sense that sometines its her own unhealed wounds talking.

The back and forth and not knowing what you’ll get is so difficult, I get why you’d avoid interactions sometimes. I wish these moms knew their daughters are not the source of their pain! ❤️
