Critical Parent: How Much is Too Much?
Being a child of critical parents, how much mistreatment is enough? How much wishing things will change do you do? How many second chances do you give your parents? When do you draw the line and create boundaries? When do you cut ties?
How to Deal with a Critical Parent
Understand that a parent who gives in to the desire and need to criticize a vulnerable child is on some level cruel, ignorant and completely unaware. Why else would they give in to the temptation to make their own children feel so badly about themselves? They either lack understanding as to what their words are doing, or they lack kindness. Either way, they are lacking. Every time they criticize you, tell yourself that this shows that they are the ones who are flawed, not you. Just remember that just because you’re genetically linked (or adopted by) this person, doesn’t give him / her the right to mistreat you.
How to address your critical parent can be a tricky proposition. People in general can become defensive, retreat, or run away. But when the person is your own parent, so many more dynamics come in to play. And although you may make the most honorable, loving, and concerted effort to keep the relationship afloat, your parent may not see things the same way you do. The following is a series of steps I took to approach my critical parents: 1. Do Nothing: For a long time, I did nothing. I thought that after time, the judgmental criticisms would go away when I proved myself to be worthy. I thought that after I exhibited my independence and showed how successful I was as a person, my parent would magically become this nicer, unconditionally loving, and careful parent. WRONG. Obviously, doing nothing won’t change how your critical parent treats you. So if doing nothing is the option chosen, you’ll have to accept that he / she is the one that is flawed and know that he / she will not change. I wasn’t to that stage, as I kept blaming myself. Not until I started to understand that my parent was the flawed one did I start seeing the light and coming to terms with the relationship.
2. Communicate: I tried communicating my desire for an unconditional and loving relationship with my parent and expressed how I felt when I left from a visit– dejected, empty, and sad. The result? My parent became more critical, more judgmental, and more dysfunctional.
Alice Miller encourages grown children to express anger and pain to their parents, not to punish or change, but to develop an authentic relationship. When you say no more, the word “no” is a word that never should be negotiated because the parent who chooses not to hear it is trying to control you. Declining to hear “no” is a signal that someone is either seeking to control or refusing to relinquish control.
So, if you opt to communicate your displeasure with your mistreatment, be firm with your stance and consistent with your reactions. Be honest and relate that the criticisms really hurt. Being honest like this is hard but if you want to have a relationship with your parent and not tolerate the abuse, speak your mind to try to improve the situation. Further, let the parent know that you no longer want to hear their criticisms and sharing them with you is no longer an option. And if your parent decides not to accept your feelings or your requests, realize that you own your feelings and that you have every right to feel the way you do and that every relationship has mutual respect. Be proud of yourself for standing up for yourself.
3. Set Boundaries: Setting boundaries was the next step. When I was a teenager, keeping involved in school activities and functions kept me from being at home and the recipient of the mistreatment. Once I was out on my own, I physically separated myself from my parents. For example, if you live next-door to your parents, consider moving to the other side of town. If you live in your parent’s house, consider renting an apartment or buying your own home.
I also limited calls and visits. For example, if your mother asks you to call every day, politely explain that you are only able to call once a week. Or, if your father demands weekly visits, kindly explain that you are only able to visit one weekend a month. Along with limiting calls & visits, I set boundaries on the amount of time my parents spent at my home– and dropping by unannounced was a big no-no. If violations of boundaries occur, let the parent know immediately and remind the parent of the boundaries.
In my case, the boundaries didn’t help in regard to criticisms. The criticisms coming from my parent only accelerated as time progressed. Even if I only saw my parent three times a year, I left every single visit feeling terrible. My parent would completely crush me with snide or off-hand comments, cutting comments at opportune times, and make mountains out of mole hills leaving me completely baffled as to where this treatment was coming from.
4. Separate Yourself: Now I was forced to take the next step, which was to separate myself– not a permanent estrangement or no-contact situation, but a time for reflection and review of the relationship. During this time, I politely turned-down invitations for get-togethers and avoided communications with the parent. My goal was that through keeping this space between myself and my parent, time may ease tensions and make appreciation for the other grow. My hope was that my parent would be more grateful to see me, softer with approach, and also realize errors in the way I was treated. Nope. Maybe things were a bit brighter upon the first visit after the separation, but the critical treatment quickly returned and at a greater intensity.
The single greatest power adult children have is the ability to GET AWAY. Simply talking aobut the source of danger does not make it go away. Saying, “I won’t tolerate being treated this way” and failing to leave demonstrates lack of conviction and ambivalence.
Remember some parents have a need for perfection and tend to be judgmental by nature. They see the flaws, instead of the strengths, and in every human, if you look for flaws, you will find flaws. Such parents are wired to find the glass half empty, instead of half full. This has nothing to do with you, or who you are, or what you are worth as a person. Such people rarely, if ever, change. Let go of the belief that if you tried harder you would suddenly gain their approval. You won’t.
The giver of criticism, rather than the receiver,
is usually the one who has a problem and needs to change.
5. Estrangement / No-Contact: So after decades of trying and progressive steps to try to ‘create’ a loving and compassionate parent, I decided to stop trying. First off, you can’t change anyone… but YOURSELF. Second, life is too short. Acknowledging both of these points, I made a conscious effort to surround myself with loving, approving people. I broke off all contact with my critical parent and made sure that my life was filled with people who see the good in me and who aren’t too afraid or too petty to give me the affirmation and positive feedback my soul deserves.
Sure I wish things were different. I would love to have a warm and loving relationship with my parents. Sure I wish I had parents that are accepting and supportive– but that’s not what I was given. And because I recognize and understand where my parents are coming from, I chose not to participate. I chose to be happy. I chose to have love in my life. I chose to have people in my life that see the GOOD in others.
If a person can’t see the good in others, he / she is lacking
basic qualities needed for healthy human relationships.
I am presently estranged from both of my parents, but each relationship manifested itself completely differently. What was the drawing-line in one relationship was not the same drawing-line for the other. My Dad’s relationship was progressively souring, whereas my mother’s relationship was cyclical with a distinct blow-up suddenly initiating an estrangement. In other words, my Dad & my relationship was a slow decline leading to an estrangement, and my mother & my relationship went into an estrangement abruptly.
My Mother: the suddenly critical parent
My mother has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and we’ve been estranged off and on in 5 year cycles for most of my life. During ‘good’ times, her BPD symptoms consisted of inappropriate social behavior, bouts of depression, impulsive behaviors (shopaholic, over-eating, hording, self-medicating), and unstable patterns of social relationships. During the 1999 – 2004 period, her dysfunctional and critical behaviors were not aimed at me, and therefore, we floated along in a relationship.
Prior to our 2004 estrangement, my mother and I were getting along very well. We visited with each other at least two times a month, I was helping her to get her house organized & cleaned, and we talked on the phone often sharing life experiences. If my mother had remained stable as describe, I could tolerate the quirks and would maintain contact. I never thought I had an authentic relationship with her, however, as I had to walk on eggshells around her regarding my Dad, my childhood, and any discussions related to either.
My estrangement with my mother started mid-way through 2004 (Little Women) when she didn’t agree with what my then fiance (now husband) and I were discussing in regard to our wedding. We didn’t have any wedding plans; in fact, we hadn’t even started doing any planning) In my opinion, the estrangement didn’t occur because she blew up about the wedding– the estrangement occurred because of:
a complete loss of trust originating from her campaign of denigration (horrible criticisms, lies, exaggerations, and manipulations) against me (Understanding the Borderline Mother: Enlisting her Allies Against Her Target of Rage) and
how she distorted and manipulated the facts of what happened.
If she simply had blown-up about the wedding and then let things cool down to where we could move on, the estrangement may not have happened AT THAT POINT. Now don’t get me wrong– the estrangement would have happened as it’s happened about every 5 years. SOMETHING would have set off her fuse and caused a blow up to which she would over-react.
And therein lies the root of the Borderline’s tragic personality– what drives the Borderline’s personality is their real or imagined fear of rejection and / or abandonment. Clearly her cycles of depression, manic, and psychotic phases of BPD are evident through her patterns of estranged relationships: myself, her father, her sister, my brother, her husbands (3), circles of friends discarded. So, with the wedding being an event where she perceived a potential abandonment, she flipped the situation to where she claims I rejected her… or as she puts it, I ‘kicked’ her ‘out’ of the wedding.
More specifically, Borderlines have such a fear of abandonment that they set-up a situation to be rejected. The BPD turns a Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde, seemingly out-of-the blue, around the time that they feel threatened by rejection or abandonment. Along with a huge blow-up that is irrational and not based on reality, the BPD starts a campaign of denigration to turn friends and family against her target of rage (me in this case).
Despite how nonsensical this sounds to you the reader, this behavior is part and parcel of the BPD personality. The BPD is essentially beating the target of rage (me) to the punch by starting a situation that ultimately must end in an estrangement, and in the process attempts to gather the target of rage’s (my) friends and family as allies in order to confirm that it’s not his / her fault. The Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde transformation accompanied by the campaign of denigration is usually too much for the target of rage (me) to handle; thus the target of rage (me) retreats; therefore, the BPD’s fears of abandonment come to fruition by all fault of his /her own. The result is an estrangement with the BPD pleading she /he is the victim. The target of rage (me) who went from being idealized to devalued almost instantaneously, is left stunned and puzzled in regard to the Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde transformation.
Even in the absence of my wedding, another situation would have certainly presented itself where my mother would have flipped her lid, and the idealization of me would have instantaneously changed to devaluation. This pattern has presented itself in the 80′s, 90′s, and 2000′s where my mother would flip her lid about petty or minuscule things ending with an estrangement. Her disagreement with my wedding wasn’t the reason for the estrangement– my mother’s reaction to the disagreement that was the reason. Her reaction was one filled with anger, venom, hatred, manipulations, gossip, and lies, which all led to a complete loss of trust. During the Dr. Jekyll times, things were good. During Mr. Hyde times, estrangements occur. Thus, the cycle of BPD.
My Dad: the always critical parent
In contrast, my Dad is a completely different story. My Dad doesn’t cycle through varying behavior, attitudes, or dispositions. He is always a selfish and a highly critical narcissist, who is getting worse as he is getting older and retired. He loves the blame game and guilt trips. He enjoys criticizing, nit-picking, and judging. He’s a prolific gossip and loves manipulating those around him for his gain. He feels like the world revolves around him, loves being the center of attention, and demands a great deal of praise & admiration from others. He takes advantage of those around him and lacks empathy.
Whether not my last straw happened in December 2008 (Holidays Leading to Last Straw), our relationship had been on the downswing for years. In fact, when my husband & I had left from our Thanksgiving 2008 visit, I knew that I would not continue subjecting myself, husband, and now child to this toxic, dysfunctional, and very criticizing experience. Since the early 2000′s, I have left visits with him feeling empty, dejected, and sad. No matter how I set my mind to having a positive experience prior to the gathering, it never failed– I would leave feeling horrible.
Conclusion– How to Handle the Critical Parent
No two parental situations are exactly the same, so what may work in one situation may not be the best in another. However, doing something to improve your situation is imperative when dealing with a critical parent. By simply being conscious of the effects of criticism, you’ll actually begin to negate the effects. Bringing to the surface the impact of criticism can actually help it dissipate and lose the power it has in your life.
Steps to gain control include: doing nothing, communicating your feelings and expectations, setting boundaries, separating yourself from your parent, and estrangement / no-contact. Steps can be completely skipped or passed through quickly depending on the individual situation.
Most importantly, let go of the hope that your critical parent will ever change. Stop looking for approval from the parent. Understand why the parent is like this, but stop looking to them for approval and support you will probably never get. Having a critical parent is not your fault, and you can’t make this critical parent into a kind and approving parent.
5 Top Tips To Win College Scholarships
Student body presidents with high grade point averages are not the only students that win college scholarships. To be a college scholarship winner, the key is to NOT do what all the other applicants are doing. These 5 tips will help any student, even the average ones, win college scholarships.
Online scholarship searches are great, but my first tip is to NOT just use the internet to find your scholarships. There are so many other great sources out there where you will find a ton of scholarships that many other students will never find. As a result, you will improve your chances of winning right from the start! It’s okay to use online scholarship searches, just don’t make them your only method of finding scholarships to apply for.
Should you apply for big scholarships or little scholarships? How do you decide which scholarships to apply for? The answer is: All the ones that you qualify for! Big scholarships are wonderful, but will also have the greatest amount of students applying for them. Students think that by winning a few big scholarships, they won’t have to do the work in applying for several smaller ones. The problem with this thinking is that you have a better chance of winning smaller scholarships than you do the bigger ones! Go ahead and apply for both big and little scholarships and don’t make the decision based on how much you can win for each scholarship.
Don’t be afraid to apply for need-based scholarships. Need-based scholarships are those that look at your income (or your parents) as one part of the process to decide if you deserve to win the scholarship. Some need-based scholarships consider anyone with an income level below $100,000 to be needy! Don’t skip over need-based scholarships just because you think your parents make too much money! You never know what income levels they consider “too much” to be qualified to apply for their scholarship. If you can’t find the income requirements in the application instructions, go ahead and apply.
Community service might just be the key to winning scholarships. Be sure to share any and all volunteer hours you have worked in the last four years. Scholarship judges are so impressed with students that have taken the time to help others. Even easy volunteering like helping coach a child’s tee ball team is considered community service. Lots of volunteer hours also gives you ideas for the popular scholarship essay question: What have you done to contribute to society? You can tell them about how you use your gift of playing baseball to help small children. If you do not have any volunteer hours, start NOW. You will be surprised at how many hours you can give in just a few months of community service.
I did say five, but the very best and most important tip on how to win college scholarships is to learn how to make your scholarship applications stand out to the judges. I developed a method of doing this that won my son over $20,000 in private scholarships. I was personally told by a few judges that his application package was so impressive that they knew from the start that he was going to be awarded their scholarship.
If you are serious about winning college scholarships, learn about my method by visiting http://www.how2winscholarships.com. There are scholarship deadlines coming and going constantly. Students are busy trying to fill out applications and win money for college. I will show you exactly what you need to do to win college scholarships and get free money for college. Don’t wait!

Discover 3 Common Misconceptions About Scholarships
When searching for financial aids, most students will think of “Scholarship”, which is the free money sponsored by government and private sectors to students who meet their eligibility requirements. Many myths and misunderstanding about scholarships get passed around the halls of high schools and among the parents of students getting ready to go to college, causing them to focus too much energy on searching for these awards and get ignore on other financial aids sources which are more abundant than scholarships.
Before you start to search and win the free money: scholarships, you should understand the truth behind these misconceptions so you will not be taken in by them. Here are 3 of the common misconceptions about scholarships:
Misconceptions # 1: Billions of dollars’ worth of scholarship money goes unclaimed
Among the biggest myth about scholarship is that billions of dollars’ worth of scholarship money goes unclaimed each year, just waiting for a savvy student like you to come along and scoop it up. This misconception is potentially cause by certain marketing activities campaign conducted by potential scams which they use in an effort to get you to hand over your money to them.
The truth, according to most college financial aids offers, is that almost all available scholarship money is given out each year. There are some scholarships not awarded usually due to applicants who apply for those scholarships are not meeting the eligibility requirements. But these unclaimed scholarships are just a small percentage of the total scholarships given out each year, and those scholarships which are failed to be awarded usually have highly restrictive eligibility requirements.
You may hear about 75 percent of all private financial aid went unclaimed last year. The fact is this figure does not refer to scholarships at all. What is actually refers to is tuition assistance offered by companies to their employees.
Misconceptions # 2: Scholarships provides free ride to college
Many students believe that scholarships are the largest awards that can provide a free ride to college. If you think that by winning a scholarship, you will pay less for your college, you are wrong; your winning scholarships will not reduce EFC (Expected Family Contribution), in other word, EPC remain and the winning scholarship will be added into the total amount of financial aid that you have already received and an equal amount of aid from other sources is subtracted. In additional, scholarship awards are typically small, often under $1,000 and you may not even be able to renew the scholarship for all four years of college.
There are a few scholarship programs pay for your full tuition fee, but competition for the biggest prizes definitely fierce and these scholarships typically go to students with the best possible qualifications. Even you have the best grades and the highest score, you may not count on winning a full-tuition scholarship, your peers may have a better community service record than you, or more leadership experience. You may submit your application for these scholarships applications, but you need to put in place other financial aid alternatives to support your study if you fail to win a full-tuition scholarship.
Misconceptions # 3: Scholarships Only Go to The Best
Many students miss their chances to apply for a scholarship because they think that they are not the best, and they have no hope to win a scholarship. While it is true that the largest scholarship awards go to the academic and athletic all-stars, those make up only a very small percentage of all the scholarship programs that open to you. Most programs are awarded based on specific requirements such as your major, your place of living, whether you are from minority group, you are a woman or you have a specific talent & etc. So you may not qualify for the national scholarships or the huge athletic awards, you may easily find a smaller scholarship with more restricted eligibility requirements where you are uniquely fit into it.
In Summary
Scholarship is just one type of financial aids; there are still other alternative sources available where you can find money to support your college study. Don’t be taken by the myth that there are billions of dollars unclaimed scholarships available because most of scholarship offers are claimed. The fact shows that not all scholarships go for the best, there is a scholarship waiting you somewhere. Keep hunting for those scholarships; don’t give up before you put your effort to search for it.

Student loan advise for inexperienced
After college graduation, some remains of the years of study come in the shape of debt and obligations of monthly payments. As beginner’s salaries rarely are satisfactory, a good planning of the loan settlement is imperative. The web hosts a lot of sites which offer student loan advise on repayment based on the monthly budget to saving for later payments. Paying attention to financial details might save the student a lot of money in the future.
Student loan advise says that if the loan is paid by the student, the sum should not exceed 10-15 percent of his monthly income or if the parents handle payment, the monthly cost should not be over 37 percent of gross income. Sites with special calculators were made particularly for this purpose. The decision on the type of payment should be taken with maximum precision.
Student loan advise says that saving starts from the very beginning and, in time, it becomes one of the most important lessons a student can learn. The fact that he has to deal with financial problems ever since college will help him appreciate the value of money and of work. This particular piece of advise is also studied online, on web-sites, where students can find all sorts of information regarding this particular problem.
The student loan advise is clear and very carefully documented on the web. Students and parents alike can find estimated figures on what the costs of living in a campus may be and on all of the additional expenses in student years. The procedure is simple. The web page displays a list of estimated costs based on the average costs. On this basis, the student can add-up his or her own costs finding ways of reducing the total amount as they correctly examine personal needs.
As the search continues, one can go from one student loan advise to another. Student loan advise touches all the known important aspects. For example, a person who has studied what student loan advise recommends, knows that knowledge about weekly budget and of how much money he needs to be spent on items like food, clothes and going out is necessary. Student loan advise also say that keeping a list of standing orders or direct debits can be helpful. To go and see the manager of the bank for solutions in case of problems that may occur is part of student loan advise. Finally, student loan advise says to check for any possible tuition or grants as they are very helpful in later payments.
In addition to student loan advise offered on savings, student loan interest rates, which have made their drop to a new low, will surely be of interest to the reader. The unexpected high drops of student loan interest rates are understandable as education is an investment in the future and many students make efforts to pay their debts after graduation. Student loan interest rates are calculated each year on July 1st, so there is no telling what will happen in the years to come.
Considering that student loan interest rates are variable in time, borrowers should contact their lender or loan services to evaluate their options, financially speaking. Paying loans is not only about taking the student loan interest rate into consideration. It is about paying attention to a variety of details knowing that personal finance is at stake. Repaying is about understanding the grace period, locking-in the lower grace rate, paying on time without delaying payments and having the paperwork done within the time limit. Solving this last detail earlier may come in very handy sometimes. To take care of all these aspects, a student has to be very responsible and aware of the implications his mistakes will have on his future. This means having to grow up faster than he would like perhaps.
Certain particularities like these ones should be known by all borrowers either directly from bank management or from other sources of information. The internet can prove to be very useful in these matters. For those students who are not well documented a lot of problems will occur and many people or companies will profit of their lack of knowledge (even if this should not happen).
Lower student loan interest rates are surely the best way to go. The move made by the Congress with the new figures of loan rates on the market is definitely proving helpful for thousands of graduates. There is no better investment to make than in personal knowledge (an additional reason to read student loan advise). The helpful hand of the government proves, once again, that everyone understands the importance of a well educated society.

Early Childhood Activities
Early childhood activities can be an absolute joy if you are an involved parent educator. Unfortunately, if you’re not into early childhood games and not willing to take the time to engage your child’s mind while they are growing, It can be difficult for both you and your child. The lack of early childhood activity can result in huge problems, some of which last a lifetime. Kids who are under-stimulated often suffer from learning problems, behavioral problems, and emotional problems. Taking the time to plan out some great early childhood activities is not only a great thing to do as a mother or father, but an investment in the life of your family and your child.
The great thing about early childhood education activity is that it includes almost every game you play with your child. You see, for a child, play is work. The best early childhood activities are designed not only to entertain children, but also to stimulate their growing minds. Every early childhood activity recommended by educators, whether it is storytelling, playing with bricks and blocks, or team building games, teaches the child an important skill. One early childhood activity might help them to understand how to play with others. Another one might help them to understand how different shapes go together, and thus to improve their spacial reasoning skills.
There are all kinds of experts on early childhood activity, and they all have different opinions. My advice to you as someone who has raised three children myself is to see what your children like. It is very easy to get caught up in set early childhood games, but the fact is that every child is different and will like different early childhood activities. Some of them like very spatial activities. Other ones like to do a more imaginative early childhood activity, such as make-believe or storytelling.
Some parents try to expose their kids to every single early childhood activity that they can get their hands on, but I don’t think this is the right approach. The important thing is to keep your child intellectually stimulated and engaged. If they are given interesting early childhood activities, they will begin to learn on their own. Letting them choose the early childhood activity allows them to start making decisions at an early age, which is the first step towards teaching them responsibility and independence. There is no better way to work on early childhood development than that!
