Thread: How easy is it to tell my mother when she has done gossip that hurts me?

I don't think she intends to do it but my parents are divorced, have been since I was aged 2 so for 26 years, but my mother still does gossip and stories that are 1/3 true and 2/3 not true about my father, step-mother, and other paternal relatives and step-mother's parents. How can I correct my mother on this in a way that isn't seen as arrogant? The only time I have before she replied saying "don't lecture me" and that was after my step-mother's father (my step-grandfather) had just died and she was doing gossip when I was visiting the day after the funeral.
