A few years back I suffered because I thought my mom and I did not have a great relationship. It was sad and frustrating. Of course, I thought it was all her fault. I mean, she was the mom. Right? She should be the one supporting me, loving me unconditionally, and being kind to me. She was not -- I thought -- and I suffered a lot.

I struggled for several years thinking that my mom should change; she sh

I thought my mom had to be different in order for me to love her and feel loved by her.

Luckily, I came across a book by

Yes, I hate when she does that. She is so mean.

Yes, why would she want to do that anyway? It makes me feel awful.

I feel sad. I am angry at her. I begin to criticize her. I defend myself and argue with her. My chest gets tight. I feel sick to my stomach. I wonder why she ever had me in the first place. It feels awful. I don't want to call her or talk to her. I don't care about her, and that hurts.
