[quote=Anonymous]I am very close with my mom.  We always got along.  I think we became truly close when I worked at her job during college summers.  It was factory work, and we literally sat facing each other all day while doing monotonous work.  Nothing else to do except talk all day.

I often confide in her, but since I've been married, I do find myself protecting her by not telling her the worst things.  I think it would hurt her too much.

For those posters who don't want to repeat the poor relationship they had with their mothers:  I think my mom and are so close because I have always known she is rooting for me.  She simply wants the best for me, whatever that is, even if it's not her personal preference for me.  And I want the best for her.  If I failed a test, or didn't make a team, she didn't criticize.  But she would ask me what I needed to do for a better result the next time.  And she would ask if I needed her help.  But she wouldn't force her help or advice on me.  She truly set up a healthy relationship for the two of us.  And I am very grateful for that.[/quote]
