Toxic parents.

Hi I have been struggling with negative comments from my mother and if I tell her it's hurtful, she says I never meant to hurt you and I don't know how to handle any negative statement. She does a lot to support me by caring for my children while I work. But I get into a negative spiral when faced with these comments. I don't understand if I am over reacting or is it something I should work on?

It is something both of u should be working on. Sometimes you should assess if the negative comment is found and reasonable. Is something really wrong for her to say the negative comment, talk to her about it, ask what is her issue, and try to work out a solution. It may be difficult, but brushing it off may create more tension later on.
