[quote=Anonymous]My mom went nuts when she visited when my daughter was born. Accused us of favoring dh's parents. Accused me of not "mothering" my child enough. Accused dh of sponging off of me (she didn't realize that he had a *paid* sabbatical and assumed he was relying on my income). I call that the "good twin/evil twin" syndrome. Person acts like the "good twin" most of the time and you let your guard down and then something happens to set them off and the "evil twin" emerges and acts crazy. Took me awhile to understand that underneath the "good twin" veneer she was a white hot ball of anxiety and was just really good at hiding it until she was confronted with stressful situations like babies being born. Took me longer to realize that it wasn't about me. I wish I'd understood that at the time. Sometimes I miss that crazy lady. RIP, mom.[/quote]
