How to have a good relationship with my mom
"It's been a long road, but it spares you a lot of hurt feelings"
How I did it: There was a long time when mom and I didn't get along. We would be having a normal conversation, then, suddenly, something would go wrong and we would be yelling. The way I stopped it - I stopped trying to be "right". If i feel that she's off the mark about something, I just let it go... it's done wonders! Another thing, I know she can sense hostility very well (rolling eyes is a really bad idea) and she takes it badly, so I forced myself to stop making sarcastic remarks etc. Now she also lives far away, so we stopped being such a big influence on each other.
Lessons & tips: Stop trying to be right!!
Resources: Some time apart from my family to cool down and having a normal friend circle.
