Thanks. I just read your post, and something you said in it really struck a chord with me. I know she loves me, but I'm not sure if she likes me. This is EXACTLY the way I feel about my mother. It's like she doesn't love me for myself, but for the hope that she might be able to change me into someone more acceptable somehow. The way many women hope to change their children, or husbands, or whoever else happens to be the central focus of their emotions. It's very crippling for the person being on the receiving end of this kind of love - as I'm sure you know.
