[quote=Anonymous]My mom asks how I'm going all the time but she doesn't really listen to the response and will misinterpret anything I say so it's not really a rewarding exchange. Anything I say to my mom gets filtered through a bunch of layers of her own issues so by the time she's processing it, it has very little to do with me. I increasingly feel that no one should have kids until they have learned to manage their own issues, past traumas, and moderate their own emotions. You don't have to have it all sorted out, but you need to have tools for it. Otherwise you just use your kids as vessels for processing your own BS and it's miserable for them. I don't really even know what it would feel like to have either of my parents see me asa separate person with my own sh!t going on rather than a reflection of some aspect of their own lives. [/quote]
