[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone else found this to be true? My mother was hateful beyond belief when I was growing up. Now she's like a kitten. My grandmother also softened up in old age. I wonder if this is a thing. I'm sometimes torn about which person she is and what my feelings for her should be. Anyone else?[/quote]

Not the same situation but I am also torn about both my parents.
My mother was mentally ill and while she really helped bring out my talents (I was good at this one thing and she made sure I had access to opportunities even though she was a simple woman with no connections), she also screwed me up big time in terms of my self esteem, relationships, etc. 
My father was a kind and loving man, but also very weak and immature and couldn’t or wouldn’t protect us from her outbursts. 
I am having major issues with how to think of my parents, are they good or bad people? 
I know it can be tempting for you to think that your mom has reformed and will be good to you now, but unfortunately you should expect some backstabbing when you least expect it. Don’t trust her fully! 
I hope you can find peace eventually [/quote]
