“I can’t stand the new one, she is swimming in it and I am embaressed when she wears it.”
& “I don’t have much of a choice. She more or less said to me, “One more word and I’ll turn the world to ‘tahoo vavahoo'”
These communication techniques are unhealthy in a marriage on both ends. It becomes a power struggle rather than a healthy dialogue.
Dr. Seuss
Actually, it IS that shul’s practice, but I have no other explanation other than the idea of tircha and the idea to start out small.
You may wish to consider contacting the rav directly for your very reasonable question.

A lawsuit for free positive publicity?
Ok, I made it up. -95
Aries-welcome back!
ILC-Aries gives you solid examples of I statements, focusing on how you feel rather than blaming the other party with the You statement.
It is MUCH easier for the other person to hear and does NOT put them on the defensive.
It’s ok for you to be sensitive, btw, accept who you are and work with it.
Many people would feel the same way if on the receiving end of unhealthy communication such as what you describe above (name calling, …)
always here
Are they honoring your DH’s ticket at that price?
sounds like a lot of hot air to me….
wondering if the school would work something out with you if you contacted them

“ayc, thanks for the link! I am amazed at how thoughtful you are to be posting helpful links in so many threads. Really, if I can speak for everyone here, we really appreciate it!”
WHOA, MP!
Thanks for your kind words. And for taking the time to notice and comment.
Everyone needs a good word now and then, and yours came at just that time.

Sorry to hear your sad story. Perhaps you go to counseling yourself?
Curious, though, that you write that readers here can’t advise since we don’t know the mother personally, yet YOU could and even KNOW that the mom is similar to someone you know…
Although counseling definitely sounds like a good idea
“I might actually send her this email but change it around a little.”
Great. (not sarcastic)
Feel free to try it out here first if you’d like to get CR haskama…You’d probably learn a lot from the changes that may be suggested
“How can I make it sound less defensive?”
Remember your goal is to both be on the same team:
-never blame her (use the I statement,never You)
-pay attention to the non-verbals (facial expression, body language…)
-pay attention to your tone (no sarcasm, condescension,..) and your decibel level (always speak calmly)
-reassure her that your goal is to have a positive and healthy relationship and you need her help to get there
-ask her what you could do to make her feel better towards you, and literally just take notes mechanically without reacting
-set guidelines how each should tell the other when “slipping up” in future, a reality when trying new patterns of communication.
It gets easier as you become accustomed to the new way of relating, and it is SOOO worth the effort.
For both of you.

AYM-go Ask Your Mom…
ok, so there’s nothing posted as yet from your OP from over an hour ago, so I apologize in advance if I may be repeating anyone…
Firstly, it’s great that you wish to improve the relationship and didn’t take the “easy” way out by giving up.
“No cursing, no stupid faces, less yelling,… no namecalling, no speaking behind each others back”
THIS NEVER, EVER BELONGS IN ANY good relationship, and certainly not with your parent.
Perhaps writing a heartfelt, respectful letter may go a long way.
-Use I statements i.e., I feel bad the way we are currently relating..NEVER say that she does such&such for that would put her on the defensive (and “just turn the tables”)and you won’t resolve the issue. Learn this important communication skill and you’ll be”H see that your mother will be able to “just hear me out once in a while”
-Write what you’d like the relationship to look like
-Include specifically what you need from her:
*Please notice and encourage me when I help around the house; it will make me feel good and encourage me to continue cleaning!
* Please give me five minutes of your undivided attention from 6PM to 6:05pm
* Please calmly tell me what you think I am doing wrong-it feels to me as if I am told off “for doing NOTHING!”
Is it possible that your mother interrupts you because she hears a condescending or negative tone in your voice? Remember, most communication is non-verbal and she’d be experiencing the interchange as uncomfortable.
Hatzlacha
Shticky,
As you know, Tzion refers to either of the three that you’ve mentioned: J-m, Har Habayis, Bais Hamikdash, depending on the context.
In Nach VERY, VERY often a posuk seemingly repeats itself, almost poetically, and we learn from the different nuances.
. ????? ??????? ???????, ????: “???? ???? ?????, ??????? ????”, ?????. …(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 561:1 as quoted from Yeshayahu 64:9)
One who sees Jerusalem in its destruction says: “Tzion has become a desert, Jerusalem desolate” (Isiah 64:9), and rips
BTW, there is a meforush who says that in Acharis Hayamim, the entire world will become E”Y and E”Y will become Y-m, so in that time it may very well be that E”Y will become Tzion.
This requires more iyun be”H.
yup, you both got it!!!
