My MIL when talking to her son who was using at the time...
I love you and always will but at this very moment, I do not like you.
My parents use to say this to me when I was a child. Usually over something trivial. I burnt the dinner or cried or something like this.

So, while I agree with the direction you were going, Best, that is a trigger for me..so I will move along!

The way I love my parents is different than the way others may love their parents.
I love mine by forgiving them for their actions and seeing the good in their choices when I see good things.
