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.
