Anonymous has had it with her mother’s childish behavior and whenever she tries bringing it up with her, it goes from bad to worse.
She needs advice on how to handle the matter without coming across as disrespectful.
“Whenever I and my mother have an argument she blocks me everywhere. The block can go from a day to a week. I have told her multiple times that it hurts me when she blocks me but she still does it.
“What’s worse is that when she unblocks me she acts like everything is normal. She is my mother but I find her behavior childish. How do I make her change her ways?”
Anoymous
A listener says Anonymous should consider keeping her distance.
“I feel so bad for this girl. Her mom is so toxic. She should try and speak to her mother and if she still blocks you then you should just leave her. Because what she is doing is not right. If she carried on then just try and keep your distance.”
Anothher listener notes that what the mother is doing is “emotional blackmail.”
“I’m not sure if we are ready to have the conversation about mothers who are blackmailing their kids. Emotional blackmail is the worst. She needs to let her mom know that although she is her child, she is not a kid anymore and the respect must be mutual.”
