[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom and I had a terrible relationship from 16-23ish but we ended up best friends. It’s possible.[/quote] My mom and I had a tough relationship from 14-21ish. Then, for many years, I tried very hard to build a caring adult relationship with her but she was intermittently very mean and hurtful. I tried to put in place appropriate boundaries and give her grace. It all blew up again around age 40 and now we're mostly estranged for basically the same reasons that we didn't get along in my teens: she has issues. Probably something diagnosable, but she won't ever see someone to be diagnosed. She claims she has autism and that's why she can't form close relationships or consider the feelings of others, but I think it's a personality disorder and/or bipolar disorder. She has delusions and will claim people said and did things that never happened, but doesn't believe that. To her they are real.[/quote]
