Is it normal to dislike your mom?

74% Normal
10 Comments

I'm an atheist. She's a Lutheran (and I'm going to the fictitious land of Hell). I'm a realist. She's holier than thou. And me. I like science and being whimsically energetic. She likes acupuncture and tai chi and (interestingly) being angry all the time. I'm libertarian in regards to legality of...err...activities. She's conservative. I'm bisexual. She won't know unless it becomes necessary (aka I get a chance with Natalie Portman ;). It's Earth Mother vs. The Progressive. Constantly. I love her for lots of reasons, including birthing me. But I don't LIKE her. Is that normal, of one's own mum?

    Sometimes people just aren't compatible. Unfortunately, sometimes even parents and their children don't get a long. I hope you at least try to tolerate and respect each other, though. You only have one mom.

    I had very mixed feelings about my mom. Also my dad. I both loved and hated them both. Still do, even now that they are gone.

    I dislike my mother now...used to hate her. You know when at a certain age you reflect how you are conducting your life and you happen upon the realization that you have no good memories
    about your mother and can only remember 5 instances of your chilhood altogether. I have had nightmares every night of my life
    of wanting to kill her and tried to kill myself trying to deny I hated her. I have refused to talk to her for almost a year and in the first night my nightmares stopped. I am aware others have had much worst childhoods (sexual, or drug addiction) but I never want to see her again.

    i'm just curious about how you feel about your dad.. because i get along so well with my dad (better than with a lot of my friends) and i think that relationship makes it hard for me to equally like my mom... even though all three of us are liberal agnostics

      even though my mom and i have made up and have a better relationship now, u've got a point: my dad is super easy to get along with. in comparison, my mom is enormously protective, defensive, and socially and philosophically finicky...fortunately, she also has a knack for forgiving the MANY things she sees as "transgressions" lol.

    Of course. It's just as normal though for her to not like you either.

      My thoughts exactly. We've sorta figured it out. I get to be totally honest with her (which is good for me) and in return 1) I always clean up my messes, and 2) I understand that she gets to be pissed about things initially so long as she still accepts me in the long run. I'll accept her and she'll accept me, no matter what. It's a balance, a spoken agreement, and it works.
