[quote=Anonymous]My mom likes me but doesn't love me, I think. She is interested in me in ways that it pertains to her. IE: it is important that my husband I attend Thanksgiving so *she* can have the day of her dreams. It is important that she sends me gifts/items for things that fit her vision of my life (never mind we live in a small NYC apartment). My parents are kind and generous and help out when it really matters (such as, logistics help for a complicated move) but my mom in particular isn't interested in me as a person. Doesn't seem to care about my own likes/dislikes or interests that I have that don't match up with her vision of what my life is or should be. Any deviation from 'the vision' is met with questioning and/or criticism. Anyone else? Is this narcissism? Or just Boomer parents being .... selfish Boomers? [/quote]
