[quote=Anonymous]I have struggled most of my life not to be like my mother. She was brilliant but doubted herself, never finished her PhD, blamed her lack of success on my father and on having kids, spent most of her life blaming others for things that should have been in her control, but she was emotionally damaged by her own childhood. She was crazy, veering between controlling/overprotective and totally checked out/depressed. She didn't work but also didn't run the household with any particular efficiency and I was making dinner, doing laundry, and taking care of things by the time I was 13. And she complained about my father incessantly. Still does, even though they've been divorced now for nearly 30 years!!! so, not every mother/earlier generation is a role model. [/quote]
