Re: A ‘difficult’ mother..
As someone who also doesnt have their mother it is very easy to think like this as we know what we dont have and we have experienced how that affects us. However, at the same time, one should also know that no 2 people are the same. The same rule applies for no 2 sets of parents are the same. No 2 mothers are going to be the same. There is no parent/mother/child handbook, everyone makes mistakes, including parents.
I dont think its fair to judge somebody for having a tricky relationship with their mother just because I dont have mine anymore.
