idk if this will help, but i feel like this with my mom, too - except she sort of turns it on me, like i have some mental health issues and it's like she wants them to be like they were at the worst and had to move home b/c i couldn't take care of myself/had no job/wasn't getting out of bed/etc
now whenever i am excited about something new for example, she'll be like 'i hope it doesn't make you too anxious' and says all sorts of things that are just so hurtful like, why would you say that?
parents can be toxic and you can set boundaries. i've basically started telling my mother 'i don't want to talk about this anymore because it's not a productive conversation' and if she keeps at it, i hang up
