Boundry

An adult child needs to be honest about what the relationship is like for them. Some of the phrases you can use include ‘This is not acceptable’ when discussing her behavior and how she makes you feel without merit, or, ‘I don’t like how this feels.’ Really drive home how severe her words can be and how strongly they affect you. If the conversation and repeated attempts to work on it go unacknowledged by her, saying, ‘If this does not stop, I will not be able to continue this relationship in the same way’ would be warranted.”

This creates a boundary without severing ties completely.
