AITA for treating her as an adult? My mother has a total of 7 siblings and she is youngest. Because of such, she acts like a child but with ability to raise a baby but not raise a teen or adult. She cannot/won't interact with anyone unless they are of the same background. She was spoiled A LOT but said "God is the reason". As a child, she raised us bad. Basically "don't talk to Americans because I (my mother) don't like them". It was why I lacked friends growing up. Now as an adult, I am mature, but she treats me still as if I'm 5. I got sick of it so instead of treating her as a loving mother, I now treat her as an adult critically. She feels so miserable now. My father and sibling attempted in past but gave up. Recently she went to new doctor. She was scared as he was American. After the test, she learned her health is terrible. The doctor said "all your previous doctors hid it because you believe God would heal you and they were following your religion too. You choosing a doctor based on religion and not health is terrible". When we came home she was crying however no one cared. Why, she kept following religion over medical advice. Whenever she gets bad news, all her siblings say "you are an adult not a child. Our mother always treated you like a little girl. That's why you fail as an adult". Me giving her adult treatment made her miserable. However, I think even if they are your family and generally you past 30 years old, you should be able to tell your parents in a critical manner things and not act like you are in elementary school.
