It's impossible when you have a parent see your sweetness (childlike behaviour) as a means to break you down.
I remember when I used to visit family members one aunt used to say stop talking in that baby voice. It used to really upset me because it wasn't. But I realise now the upbringing I had. That now at 29 I'm still treated like a child and then undermined, if I step out of 'line'.
@Peppa it's killing me from inside couple with other things

@darkknightt I'm sorry about that.
Has something in particular happened?

In my situation when I really needed my mum up until 25 she was preoccupied and treated me like she could care less like I was a nuisance. Then I had a breakdown + my dad got sick and she's been playing all these odd games, not answering calls when I ring, and calling back hours later.
Not wanting to go out and do things then snapping when we do or implying I'm not appreciative.
If I want to be quiet in a crowd she will keep talking at me until I reply in a snappy way.
(I get it, she's annoyed that I exposed her behaviour and is trying to destroy my reputation)
