Your mother sounds similar to my partners, I must admit, she has never been the most pleasant of people but things became much worse when Frank moved out. We tried for a very long time to please her, there were times where we both wanted to just cut the ties for a while, but decided against it, when we gave her her first Grandchild, we thought maybe she will lighten up a bit for her sake, which she did for a while, until we discovered she was telling our children inappropriate things about us.

You should never have to tread on egg shells where your parents are concerned, you shouldn't have to agree either, but that disagreement should never be met with such childish behavior.

Welcome to the board!

Sounds like you have your head on straight with the relationship, graduating college, getting a job. That's every parents' dream for their child to become independent, happy, and have someone to love.

Sounds like your parents are overprotective and very controlling.
Will it ever change?
I do not know for certain.

I would just write them nice emails, and postal letters. If they choose to be nasty
or not response, the ball is in their court. You will know that you are doing the right
thing towards the relationship with your parents.

Don't think you need to call them 3 times per day. Maybe they need to call you for a change.

Let us know how it goes. All the best!

Well have you heard that sometimes your worst enemies are your own family? I think that first and formost you are taking steps in the right direction because you have chosen to move away with a sounds like great guy and began your life outside the womb. Maybe your mom needs a dose of reality which is that she may have no life other than you but your life has much meaning whether she agrees with it or not. I would suggest being honest and saying exactly how you trult feel and when she hangs up don't call her back. There has to be consequence for action and the accountability here seems to be nonexistent. people have to be held accountable for their actions and she isn't. It is very selfish for her to expect you to jeopardize your own life and happiness just to help keep her a little sane. lol. Be honest and let the rest happen as it should. I think that eventually, she will recognize that shes being moody, rude, overbearing, and a total control freak and that most people don't deal well with this. Hang in there.

Default Try to talk

Talk to your mom, try to explain her everything in detail.Get one counselor when you are meeting your mom next time, you looks to be pretty ok.
