Although saying that, it does seem as though, at the moment, your mum is maybe realising your true feelings toward her?

Ultimately, there's nothing I could have said that could have changed anything in the way my parents behaved previously and even less that could have given them a glimmer of the impact they'd had on me. <br /><br />Also, there's very little to be gained in blaming her for the way you are (I'm aware I'm equally addressing myself here!) Sometimes, you have to just take ownership of the damn mess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647759773156918903.post-5789352227280656432009-09-28T19:19:35.414+01:002009-09-28T19:19:35.414+01:00The most damaging thing in life for anyone is a to...The most damaging thing in life for anyone is a toxic parent. You can never be good enough for them. Never do enough. Never live up to the standards they have set you (always lower than the ones they set for themselves). It's a void that cannot be filled so don't even try. Even if you should lose it one day and tell her how you really feel she won't take it on board - she will always be right in her own mind. I know how you feel, I really do - thankfully not through my own mum but through my mother-in-law and the effect she has on my wife.
