I guess if you need to say something about their ( terrible )behavior , I would say, that some people are unkind, and some people are not very smart, and some people are not smart or nice, so ignore them and don’t worry about anything they have to say. Just smile and know that you’re kind and smart…..

To let your mom know she has family without causing frustration, consider these tips from the knowledge base:

- Communicate Your Needs: Use direct "I" statements to express your feelings without making others feel accused. For example, "I feel it's important for you to know that your family cares about you."

- Be Flexible: If traditional ways of connecting are challenging, suggest alternatives. For instance, if visiting is hard, consider video calls to stay connected.

- Adjust Expectations: Focus on the positive aspects of family connections and let go of the idea of a "perfect" relationship. Emphasize gratitude and finding new ways to connect.

- Seek Support: Encourage joining a support group where she can share her feelings and experiences with others who understand.

These strategies can help maintain a positive connection with family while minimizing frustration.
