[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel this way about my mother.  My father too, but he moved to a developing country and self-selected out of my life.  My mother was emotionally neglectful, narcissistic, suicidal, punitive and cold growing up.  My childhood was me being the parent and trying to meet her numerous emotional needs as a child, teen and now adult.

Recently, I found copies of many letters that she wrote to various people telling them what a problem, bad kid I was.  This was a theme of hers. Something broke in me after reading them.

I am now stuck taking care of her, she is declining cognitively and I resent having to parent her again and having so much contact that I can't dictate.  I do it, and am kind on the outside but on the inside I think I hate her.  She was so destructive.  It is some kind of mind f**k that I have to have so much interaction with her with no end in sight.

It's okay to feel everything you are feeling.

Wow, this must be excruciating. I’m sorry that you’re in this position. God bless you. [/quote]
