[quote=Anonymous]OP are you a man or woman? As a woman, a daughter and a mother of a girl and boy, I experience this in full force. The relationship between moms and daughters and moms and sons are so, so different. Mothers and daughters tend to become much more entwined in each other. It is a very intense relationship and thus has more complications than most. Personally, having been raised with a wonderful mom who has major issues, my goal is to take care of myself so that I don't look to my child to be my sounding board/sole support system/ emotional dumping ground (which is where I am with my own mother.) I'm applying the "oxygen mask" rules long term and getting my own self sorted out so I am the most balanced and whole person I can be. DD and I still may wind up with issues, but I'd like to think we will both be able to address them in a productive and healthy manner.[/quote]
