[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does a healthy relationship with one's mom look like? Does anyone have that?[/quote]

It looks like pretty much any healthy relationship.  We act like the adults that we are.  We talk, share our lives, our opinions, but never in a pushy way or to overrule the other person.  We don't hold grudges, and certainly no silent treatment, ever. I would do just about anything for her, and she would do the same for me. It's trite to say this, but she really is a wonderful friend to me.

Having written all this, I'm going to call her as soon as it's early enough in the day to call her (she's continents away).  [/quote]

This. It looks a lot like other healthy relationships. [/quote]

Yes. As with my other good friends, if my mother disagrees with my actions, she generally keeps it to herself, or at most, says her piece and then leaves it alone. (Im sure she would behave differently if she thought me or my kids were in danger-- substance abuse, etc.) No grudges or silent treatment ever. No angry arguments since I was a teen. Our relationship is very much like a close friendship.[/quote]
