Dear Cali Chica:

You can try the following with your mother (and father, in parenthesis, because I understand he is her follower, accommodator)- give them a list of verbal punches they have delivered to you so far in the past few years, be specific.Type the list. Email/ hand them the list. Tell them they must not throw these verbal punched at you. If needed, let them know of a consequence that you will deliver if they disregard your list, following a warning-or no warning.

What do you think?
