My Mom Is In My Business! How To Deal With An Overbearing Mother
1. Try to Understand Why She’s Overbearing
It’s easy to react in situations where you feel you’re being judged, nagged or scrutinized. But perhaps it would help if you tried to figure out why your mother is the way she is. Is/was her mother like that? If so, it makes complete sense your mother turned out the way she did. Is she really controlling or just super protective of you? Sometimes, we perceive her advice as criticism or her concern as nagging when really all she’s trying to do is help. Once you figure out where her meddling nature comes from, maybe you’ll be able to handle it better.
