You know, it just crossed my mind that there's another reason my therapist won't let the Mom Stuff rest: sooner or later, I have to grieve for what I missed as a child. I have to accept that I never had the safety nor security that children are entitled to, that I will forever lack the support and protection I needed and deserved, and, once accepted, I'll have to go through all the pain associated with the grieving process. *That* is something else I am avoiding as best I can -- I don't want to face that agony, and so I defend my mother, so that I can avoid feeling my own pain.
I am not, of course, suggesting that there's anything similar in your situation. Just offering something more to think about.
By the way, if you'd like to dip your toes in, the water here at De Nile is just fine...
