@drsherrymaxy: You can love your mother and still struggle with what her aging asks of you. Especially when caring for her means offering patience, compassion, protection, and emotional presence that you don’t remember receiving yourself. That resentment doesn’t automatically mean you don’t love her. Sometimes it’s grief showing up beside obligation. #EmotionallyImmatureMother #MotherWound #AgingParents #AdultDaughter #FamilyPatterns
A lot of moms want you to be responsible for them like they are the child, while demanding the respect of being the parent.

it's irritating because she feels entitled to get something from me that she wouldn't give.

It’s so hard because you never stop needing a mom and I just feel I never had one

There’s something painfully complicated about becoming a safe space for the person who was never a safe space for you. Whew!

This is exactly how I feel 😭 it really breaks my heart because no one did it for me . It’s like you need me so much and when I needed it no one was there . I don’t want to be resentful or bitter but, it’s so hard . Lord Jesus help me

Do any of you ever think she didn’t ever get any love? She never had a safe place? She couldn’t give you what she didn’t have? All without the benefit of a coddling society that ‘sees’ everyone?

I have zero patience for her. I literally resent that I care for her better than she ever did me. When she tells me I am a godsend, my skin crawls. I know it’s all an act and her cruel self will come out shortly.

My mom never gave me a gentle soft place to land. It’s a weird feeling b/c she now wants the very thing she could never provide me.

I feel like the worst person. It’s not like me to be unkind but with her I am. I’m short with her or ignore her a lot. I make her take care of herself and her basics because she made me do it all alone since I was 5 years old.

I went to therapy, hell I'm still in therapy and what I learned in order to move forward is: It wasn't my fault for all the trauma or disregard. But as an adult it is my responsibility to heal.
