[quote=Anonymous]Lots of therapeutic work, lots of reading and thinking about healthy parenting and relationships etc for me. I keep things entirely superficial with my mom. We are cordial and can get along and chat like acquaintances, but don't see each other or talk often. To give her any real information or to open yourself to her is to give her ammunition to try to control and hurt you. So I place a boundary that never comes down. Learned that the hard way over many years. Accept that you can't fix people. Grieve over the parent you never had and never will have, and become your own loving parent. And then pass that good parenting along to your kids. I am hyper-aware and mindful with my kids. Sometimes, having bad parenting teaches you how to be a better parent. [/quote]
