[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]At this point, there's probably not much I can do about the relationship with my own mother but quite frankly, I'm terrified that I'll end up having the same issues with my daughter. [/quote] Children learn what they live. You need to model closeness with your mom if you want closeness with your daughter. Make an effort to change your relationship with your mother and your daughter will see this behavior as the norm.[/quote] This isn't necessarily true. My mother and grandmother have a terrible relationship, but my mom and I are very close. My mom spent a lot of time in therapy working through her issues and I think that helped her break family patterns. You can be a different mother to your daughter than you're mother was to you. [/quote] NP here. I'm so glad to hear this. I'm also not close with my mom at all and fear that I won't be able to be close with my kids because of this. I have 2 boys so I was hoping that the fact that it's not a mother-daughter relationship would help. As for my own mom, I actually dread talking to her. Although I have fond memories of my early years, as we got oldr she became an increasingly angry and depressed person. She criticices me a lot and shows zero interest in my kids. She is a terrible conversationalist and on top of that is not a warm person. [/quote]
