Dannyboy, I did read your post and thank you for your ideas. But I do think from reading your posts that your situation is quite different. My parents are not "abusive" or derogatory to me in their comments. In the examples I gave in earlier posts in this thread, I did sometimes not react and just let my mother talk. But don't think this stopped her for long
