my mom tries to help mental health problems but she really really doesnβt and usually ends up making things worse, i love her very much but anytime that i try to bring up something she did that wasnβt good or that hurts more than helps she goes oh no iβm such a horrible mom i knew i was a failure etc. i donβt tell her lots of things because of that, and when i do try she just lectures me and tryβs to pin all my problems on a single source when thatβs not how it works and that source isnβt the reason at all, i donβt know what to do with her cause iβm pretty closed off when it comes to my emotions when iβm talking with her and she always goes why are you sad and i just say iβm tired cause i never sleep good so itβs a valid excuse. but iβm not sad i just donβt know what to do with her

Hello.
Why donβt you start with telling your mom how great she is as a mother? That will give her a confidence boost. After that, tell your concerns but donβt say that you are complaining. Try to put it as things she can work on or how she can grow as a person. All the best!
