I'm the daughter...I'm in my mid thirties, have one beautiful, wonderful son and have lots of heartache over my mother. It's only gotten worse since I've become a mother. I have tried to "fix" the relationship, but it only lasts until the next betrayal or act of cruelty on her part. I have basically given up over the last couple of years, and my life is better for it, but how do you cope with the heart strings?
Basically, her relationship with me is kinda like she sees me as an acquaintance that she's jealous of and loves to critcize and gossip about. Team up with my sister-in-law who is very much just like her.
She never wanted to be a mother like her own mother, but she managed to be like her anyway. Now, I'm a mom...and I don't get it! How can you NOT adore your own child? Support them. Love them. Nuture them. Help them build self-love, confidence, all that stuff!!!
