5. Write Her a Letter
If speaking with your mother face to face has you feeling a bit on edge, then consider writing your mother a letter detailing how you’d like your relationship to change or evolve. Tell her that while you love her and want her to be in your life, you feel that her nagging, judging or criticizing you is causing a distance between you two and you want her behavior to stop for the sake of your relationship. If you confront her in person with your feelings, she may become defensive and not really hear what you’re saying. But if she has a chance to read your words, process them and digest how her actions may be hurting you, it may be easier for her to understand where you’re coming from and check herself accordingly.
