My mother was a fucking maniac during my childhood. A real ice queen, critical, quick temper, hit you for any or no real reason, mood switching at light speed, etc.
Then she hit 65 or something and became a totally different person.
Doesn’t act like any of that around any of us anymore, but I can’t let go of the conditioning. She says anything and my hair is standing up ready to fight back and argue, can never relax around her, etc.
So the take-away is that you gotta be loving to your kids their whole life, it’s very hard to suddenly catch up at the 11th hour.
