Thanks,my mother came and she was fineDesperado... I so know how you feel as I am on the same boat with mine... just try not to take things personally for they are only deflecting their feelings of themselves on us. I personally stopped or limited my communications with my family for that reason...the criticism was just too much and I had enough of it...they got the hint and got better, and if and when we do talk if they start with the criticism I suddenly "have to go" or "another call came in" or whatever...I cut it real quick.
Try to enjoy her visit as she is still your mother BUT quickly switch subjects if the critical nonsense starts...either get up to do something (have to go pee) or mention your daughter and how pretty she is...bring her into the conversation etc...
Best of luck and HUGS!
