Anybody else here can’t stand their mother?

Sounds like you’re living it. Bonafide member of the He-Man woman haters club.

Thanks for sharing.

I knew a man that was abandoned as a young boy on the side of highway.

To this day he is trying to overcome the inner rage he has by attending every conference and form of therapy he can attend.

I don’t think he has yet been successful.

Well you are wrong.

I love my wife and have a strong relationship with her.

She also can’t stand her mother-in-law.

Surprise, Mom's don't owe children a thing. They've birthed them and if their kids are now an adult and they provided for you, or worked it out so that you'd be cared for? They did their biological duty by you. End of story.

Yeah, your life is tough because they weren't better. But they did the best they could and you are going to have to accept that! Cause if they could have done better they would have!

Blaming other people because you aren't happy is a joke. You are the one with the feelings, you are the one with the point of view, you have to do something about it. Stop being a puffer fish ready to explode at the first irritation.

If I haven't been clear, don't slam your mother.Or your father. She/he might not have been fabulous, she might not get any awards and she might have sucked at nurturing, but why don't you find out if she cares about you? Actually try having a decent conversation, and if you don't, or you can't, that is on you.

But if you have a problem with them? Move on.

Some of us aren't lucky enough to have parents we can complain about...some of us have to get over it.

But you have someone who wants to laugh with you, who might buy you a crappy gift around the holidays, who will share meals with you if you show up at their place.

Keep blaming Mommy. Or, a better idea would be, maybe stop blaming other people for how you feel! You are going to have to figure it out sooner or later...it's all within YOU.

I resemble both parents, mother did the best she was able to do. Dad was not pre-qualified to be a parent.

Another asshole that wants to preach.

It asked if anyone could relate not for sanctimonious sermons.

Being around a family of users makes me unhappy. She's dead, and she died alone. She had seven children, so I'm not the only one with that opinion. If you want to harp on Honor thy Mother and thy Father, then you and everyone like you is welcome to die on that hill. You can't do it fast enough, as a matter of fact. This good cop/bad cop dialogue you've got set up is only making me view you as even more manipulative as a monolithic group than I already do. Keep it up.
