[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 738820, member: 18958"] Hi laura I recollected something about my own life that happened more than 50 years ago which had nothing whatsoever to do with you. I spoke to the way I felt about my own mother in a specific and fleeting interaction when I was an adolescent. And you responded this was unsupportive to you. That another female decades older could as a child have felt overwhelmed about her life, misunderstood and unsupported, was something you are taking as critical of you. Is it beyond possibility that your own daughter is feeling something similar? Either to me or you? And that she deserves to have a voice? We, all of us, are not so different. In our needs and feelings. Your daughter may need something. Sometimes anger is an expression of need, in the only way that feels possible. We are all of us alike. We seek to be included. To be heard. To be close. Cared for. Valued. Nurtured. Responded to. Considered. You. Me. Your daughter. My mother. Each of us. There is support here for you. And for your daughter, too. I hope you keep posting. It helps. [/QUOTE]
