I was verbally, emotionally and physically abused by my mother. I'm an adult now and I feel I continue to be verbally and emotionally abused. I have a 12 YO daughter. I don't see my mother much except holidays and maybe occasionally outside of that. I do talk to her on the phone quite a bit, which is where she gets her abuse in. Due to recent events, I've had to see my mother more often in the past couple of weeks, my daughter tagging along. There were times when she was alone with my mother also. Then, my daughter asked me the other day, out of the blue "Mom, why is grandma mad at you?" I told her I didn't know she was mad at me and what made her think she was? She said "Because, grandma thinks you don't do anything right". hmmmmmm....what do I say? I just sort of stood there. I have always felt that way, that my mother thought that. Did my mother say that to her? Did my daughter pick that up? How do I handle this tactfully?
