My mom always asks me "what do you think of me as a parent?" Could i have done better? Is there anything you didnt like, etc. Etc. And i always avoid answering because she does make herself feel guilty and because our family already judges her a lot for the choices my brother and sister have made.
While i do believe mistakes have been made and there are things she could have done better i would never tell her that.
She raised three of us alone and im sure she did the best she could at those times and still is.
As you said theres no need to make her ruminate on things that cant be changed.
I just let her know i love her for what she has done and for being human enough to acknowledge she too has flaws.
