Probably one of the
hardest things I've come to terms with in my recovery is my mother will never be the mother I always wanted to have. I love her, but she has been the emotional manipulator of the family for years, the martyr, if you will.
I've had to learn to parent myself, to embrace that little girl inside of me who wants that unconditional love.
I'm sorry for your pain. I know how badly that hurts. :ghug2 :ghug2
