It's taken me many years to get to the point that I can admit that I am very much like my mother. We have a relationship in which we are either the best of friends or the worst of enemies, and lately we have been going through a worst of enemies phase. Apparently, in her eyes, I can't do anything right these days, and she points it out every opportunity she can. (The overly critical and extremely judgemental part of her is a part I thankfully haven't developed.) The ways that I'm different from her, I'm everything she can't stand, but tolerates, about my father, who, by the way, is the best!
