[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 665317, member: 1550"] I think it is a interesting that our mothers all blamed us. WE were the baaaaaaaaaad ones. They are good people. (I don't think my mother helped a soul in her life.) I don't think my mother liked herself very much. In her gut, I think I looked and behaved too much like her (minus abusing my kids) and she picked me out partly because of that. I don't think she had any self-esteem at all. That I threatened her by standing up to her may be that she thought standing up for myself was abusive. How dare I not give one child money from an inheritance and leave out the other two. That's abusive. I made her do the dirty work herself. I think she truly saw it that way. But the end of the story is, I wouldn't do it. That was unforgiveable. [/QUOTE]
