[quote=Anonymous]My mother was an alcoholic, abusive (physically and emotionally), and not able to show love to her kids in fundamental ways. My parents were divorced and my father lived out of state and sort of forgot he had kids, so her being a better parent was kind of important. I moved many states away after college when I couldn't take her control-freak manipulation any longer and we never really had much of a relationship again. She died a few years ago and I'm still mad as hell at her. I wish I could let it go but even with therapy and anti-depressants, it's been so hard. If you were in a similar situation in that you had a strained relationship with a parent for very obvious reasons (more than they just generally annoyed you, as parents can do) and you found a way to make peace with it at some point, I would love to know how you did that.[/quote]
