Talk to my mother about her behavior towards my girlfriend

My mother's constant criticism of my girlfriend has damaged our relationship. I feel disrespected and hurt by her negative comments.

What I wish I knew
"How to effectively communicate my feelings to my mother without escalating the situation"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest and direct when expressing your feelings, but also be prepared to listen to your family member's perspective."
