[quote=Anonymous]I have a lot of deep, pent up resentment for my mother, as well as my father although less so. A lot of the things that are wrong in my life and many of my negative personal traits I can pinpoint very specific memories/a culmination of things from my childhood that I feel like made me this way. For example-- a hard time getting close to people due to the fact that I was shown very little affection and my mother was very cold and distant. A fear of abandonment because my mother threatened to put me in a group home when I stole some of my sister's spare change as a kid. A dislike of dogs because my mom was extremely affectionate to my dog, smiled and hugged him in a way that was never shown to me ("Oh, you ripped up some carpet? That's ok, we sitll love you soooo much! You're our boy." Such unconditional love was NEVER given to me.) A hard time laughing at myself and not taking life so seriously because every time I tried to tell my mom a joke or had a goofy personality trait she turned it into a lecture or a reason to say no.
