You are your own person now don't let her cripple you anymore.

@Lostpoet try as I might, she's always in the back of my mind criticizing me

@Caitbot You can learn to block her out but question the criticism is it worth following?

@Lostpoet no, it's all invalid. It just cuts deep coming from your mother of all people

@Caitbot Don't listen to it then and you are an adult her voice has no relevance on your life.
