I wish things were different

The other time I(26f) was venting to my mother about something and she said “stop giving me emotional baggage.” I remember crying as soon as she said that because it hurt. I just wanted to be able to tell her about my day or something that was bothering me but she shut me up entirely and I felt so much hurt. She’s said those words like 4 times only but I’m remembering right now how bad I felt. Legit I began sobbing. It sucks because I love her and she’s supported me through a lot but it’s exhausting. She is always criticizing me whether it is on my hair, clothes, etc. Most of the time she’s in a bad mood and blames it on menopause but nah come on. Who even likes to start their day all mad over nothing? The worst is when I’m trying to eat in the kitchen table and she starts arguing. It is awful. As I’m getting older I’m realizing she is toxic but still has good parts to her and that’s what makes it hard. Sometimes (rare) she is super sweet with me and when I get those moments I am happy. She also never asks my brother to help with chores and only asks me.

From a practical angle, this comes across more reactive than planned That’s what changes the context. Others will probably see it differently.

Real talk, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which is why this is getting picked apart That’s the key detail here.

I get the idea, the signal is clear, the strategy less so Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That’s what makes this interesting. Hard to say where this lands long term. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
