What can I do about my mother’s nagging?
My relationship with my mother is a disaster. Everything I do is not good enough for her, even though by most standards I am highly successful, both in my personal life and my career.
She has a very busy life yet always finds the time to pick on me and to put me down. She is always saying things like, “Amaso Nib Nedal, your cave is dirtier than camel droppings!” or “Amaso, your beard looks like a rat!” or ”Nib Nedal, you bring shame with your mindless cackling!”
I’ve tried to get some distance from her by moving half way around the world but that didn’t help. Now she just phones me ten times a day to nag at me. I have fantasies about faking my death so I can get a little peace.

Is it possible that you have never let your mother down in your whole life? ‘Excellence’ when compared to ‘godlike’ might seem like a failure to her… I believe that for your mother to see your ‘excellence’, she must first experience how bad things could be with you…
Why not take yourself down a peg or two and really give her something to complain about? I’m not saying that you should grow a beard down to your knees, and garb yourself like a cross-dresser, and blow things up… It can be simple things such as wearing goofy hats and boots, excessive cursing, coke addiction and spending all your family’s money on dumb business ventures.
When your name is worth toilet paper, ask your dad to bring you up again! It worked great for George W. Bush, and I’m sure it could work for you as well!
