I am having extreme difficulty in a healthy relationship to my parents. Esp. my mother, because I live in her home. We do not get along... this topic is a can of worms. it could go on into pages of my thoughts and experiences.
mostly, I feel like I can see where she is not nice to her own dog for begging and accusing me and my son, of making her beg more so now that we live here. yes, I am guilty of slipping her snacks and doctoring up her dry food with a teaspoon of rice or something like left over chicken/fish...whatever. she spends all day scalding the dog. That cannot be the way to get a dog to behave differently. anyway, I can recall that overall she always has this general attitude toward our pets thru the years.... she would never really love them with a cuddle, or lie on the floor and scratch them or pet them very long.
this is just the start of what I am having a hard time with. the dog is a stubborn dachshund, but is very sweet and smart.
does or do other people reading at this forum want to share some kinks from their own family relationships?
and my dislike for my mother is making me sad. how do I stop the friction that is present inside me? apples do not roll far from the tree? is this true? because I do not want to be here.
lump in the throat
