[quote=Anonymous]We had multiple crises in our early married life before I finally understood that I needed to cut my mother off for a while, then renew contact carefully and forever hold her at a distance. I grieved a bond I could never have with my mother, but I developed a really close bond with my (now young adult) son and (now teen) daughter over the years, to make-up for it. I have always treated them with fundamental respect and given them age-appropriate agency, unlike what my mother did to me, and I am now reaping the rewards. You can break the cycle, OP. This is what's most important. We're an mixed white-Asian family, BTW. But it wasn't the Asian side that proved problematic, it was my very white mother!!! :-) [/quote]
