26-year-old boyfriend's mother calls his girlfriend of 1 year 'just a phase,' gets mad when girlfriend flees the scene in tears

There are a few things you just don't say. Part of being an adult is learning how to hold your tongue. Even if you have the perfect zinger, sometimes it's best to hold it in to spare a few feelings. We should all be sparing each other's feelings when we can. The world is harsh enough as it is. We could all be a little bit kinder to each other. 

This is especially true when it comes to family. Nobody knows how to push our buttons quite like our family members. They know us the best and they often have the most stake in our wellbeing. So it's on all of us to make sure we're treating each other with kindness and fairness. Even when we feel like we know better than them. It can be hard to bite your tongue in this situation, but you know that you have to.
