FWIW, from reading these posts and recognizing a lot of myself, my mother and family dynamics, I want to suggest you admit yourself that you didn't have a great childhood nor do you even superficially have a great relationship with your mother now. Superficially great is an oxymoron. So you were a rude teen? A bull in the china shop 5 year old? If you truly behaved as you said you're a child any parent should be proud to have. 
She was the adult and you were the kid. The adult is responsible for forging relationships with their children and not the other way around. A mother's personality doesn't mesh with her child? Well she has to work extra hard to let the child know she loves them. It is inherent in her role as a mother.
Sure their are hungry children in Africa, and that doesn't invalidate your experience with a hurtful mother. You are right to protect yourself from her.

Are you serious?  How does a parent do that?  Having 3 kids & a household?

OP admits she was a complicated  child.[/quote]
