I can't tell you how to handle it without stopping contact, because that is what I had to do. But I wanted to let you know that I hear you, and feel for your situation.

If you don't mind my asking, how old are you? Do you live with your mother? If not, then how far away? Are you an only child?
I think answers might be helpful to us. |

You do not need to deal with this anymore. Tell her what you will and will not tolerate and enforce those boundaries.

My mother had a severe mental illness. When she was heading into an episode she would become extremely judgmental and cruel. Is it possible that your mom is depressed? I'm asking because her behavior could be symptomatic of depression or another mental illness.
Whatever the case, I agree with TishaBuv. Stick to safe subjects. Practice at not allowing yourself to get hooked in by your mom. The chance of her changing is extremely slim, so it's up to you to set a boundary by not doing the dance. __________________ |

I'm almost 48. Live a few miles from my mother. Not any only child, but my brother is more pessimistic than my mom. He takes after her.
