> I'm not sure what struggle you are referring to ... the one with my mother or the one with my therapist?I think I meant the struggle with your mother, but it's interesting to hear about the evolution of your relationship with your therapist.
> My mother is not capable of a mutually loving relationship. She is kind ... it's all surface ... nothing runs deep. She is not evil so sometimes its hard to admit being angry when in reality I'm full of anger.This is harder than if she were evil, isn't it? I think things with my mom are similar. My husband sees her as someone completely different from who I see, which is to be expected I guess. But it's disorienting to feel like I shouldn't be angry, since others don't see those same qualities.
