[quote=Anonymous]My mom treated me like a nuisance growing up, then when I was a young adult she was so confused at my behavior to her. Did you treat your daughter like she was in the way of your career ascent? Did you not have time to connect when she was growing up? Sounds like the gap was already there before this stage. I had a similar dynamic with my mom. Then I had kids and a the sudden the vail of invisibility was lifted and she wanted to connect. It felt so wierd. Things blew up and we were no contact for a couple years. Fast forward a decade- we have an amicable relationship now. She apologized for being a bad mom. She wasn't "bad" though she was just not a good one and I was mad that I didn't get was I needed. I was emotionally neglected. I've healed and I make sure I don't do that to my kids. My kids have a relationship with their grandparents. We will never have a great relationship, but we have a relationship and I still love her.[/quote]
