It’s actually really hard to bear the societal myth that all moms are loving and nurturing and that they are owed honor and respect for having given birth. Some are neglectful, manipulative and abusive—way beyond just “flawed,” which most of us are. I get tired of people who say things like, “oh, but she’s your mother, she raised you.” You carry the damage of an abusive parent your whole life, and if you were fortunate enough to have a half-decent mother, you wouldn’t understand.

OP here. You nailed it. And also her cousins hate their mothers. It must be something unique about their family I guess. I am glad that my overgeneralization was wrong as so many women were quick to say they love their moms. Perhaps I love my mom so much that I find it strange not to have a good relationship with your mom.

You might have posted before? Each time you do, I appreciate it. I also believe my mom is probably autistic but undiagnosed. Not only is it so hard as you say, but even today with so much on autism, there is nearly zero out there on being the daughter of a mother with autism.
