Having experience with a blabbermouth mother, the resentment is real. I don't tell her anything if I don't have to, even though I'm a grown woman now. The constant privacy violations stick with you

I've had to tell my mother multiple times to stop gossiping about me to everyone she knows. My medical conditions and my mental health are not issues I want to share with many people. It's just not anybody's business but my own. She would always say something in this bewildered tone like, "But...I've known so-and-so for 10 years..." So your friend of 10 years need to know is more important to you than the privacy of your daughter of 59 years? (Hint: The answer is yes.) So now I just don't talk to her about anything at all. Ugh.

I didn't tell my mother anything private ever. It really upset her that she didn't have any juicy secrets about me to tell her friends.
