[QUOTE="DDD, post: 104999, member: 35"] It's a long road for the difficult child but it is also a long road for the parents. Most of us have learned that we need to face reality and mature some as our difficult children are being taught to do so. Very often, in my humble opinion, the entire family discovers that they have not been honestly in touch with their individual fears, feeling and needs and therefore were unable to teach how to cope with deeper emotions. For example, my husband and I have been together for over 30 years. We love and trust each other BUT we do not share the negative feelings easily. Happy stuff comes easily pouring out. Our teens have not had good examples of coping with stressful or unhappy times. I think it is time that you and your Mom got on the same page for your sakes and for your sons. It is OK to resent a parent. You can love a parent, be thankful for a parent etc. but it is hard to change that over to two adults who are able to express their feelings. I bet your Mom has no idea that you have issues. Chances are she has issues with you also. You need to explore the expression of those feelings. DDD [/QUOTE]
