“Every time my mother walks in, she takes over. I get a running commentary on everything I’m doing wrong with my kid, my life, my apartment. It’s crazy-making.” -Caitlyn, age 34
“She asks my advice and then gets really irritated when it’s not what she wants to hear. I feel like I’m always walking on eggshells.” -Jill, age 62, mother of Abby, age 27.
“I’m twenty-five, not five. How do I tell her to butt out without having World War III break out?” -Allison
“I’m worried about the choices my daughter is making. She keeps switching jobs, and hasn’t been in a serious relationship in five years. She’s thirty-three.” -Susan, 59.
