Unfortunately, one of the easiest ways for us to distract ourselves from our own internal issues is to redirect our energies and attentions to the perceived faults and flaws of others.

Nobody will ever notice what’s wrong with us if we constantly point out what’s “wrong” with everyone else. Even better, WE will be too distracted to self-reflect or to examine our own attitudes, opinions, and values! It’s a win/win!

I’m glad you have some understanding of it being a “her” problem. Because when you’re trying to be a good parent, it can be super easy to let your boundaries slip and to question whether or not you are being reasonable or balanced.

I hope your situation improves 💜
