[quote=Anonymous]I started coming to this forum years ago to process my difficulties with my mom, who had undiagnosed mental illness and was controlling to the extreme. When she died I was deeply saddened and also had the same thought as OP: that the person who loved me the most in this world is gone. This forum helped me during the grieving process. I'm now in a stage where I still miss her, but can also recognize some of her parenting failures and try to avoid those in my own parenting. Once again, DCUM has been mostly helpful in my journey. Mothers are complicated. They shape so much of our identity and they leave their legacies, good and bad. I'm envious of those who have/had mostly loving and positive relationship with their mothers, and empathetic to those who were abused or neglected. For me, I can honestly say, I will miss my mom until my dying day, despite the baggages I carry from our fraught relationship.[/quote]
