I was not the woman she wanted to be, and she knew that too.#2 Mothers may love their children, but they sometimes do not like them. The same woman who may be willing to put her body between her child and a runaway truck may resent the day-by-day sacrifice the child unknowingly demands of her time, sexuality, and self-development.#3 The hardest thing to face in mother is her sexuality. We took on her anxieties, fears, and angers, and we weave the web of emotion between ourselves and others based on what we had with her. We never escape the image of how she was in our sexual lives.#4 The mother-daughter relationship is often filled with confusion and distrust, which is caused by the mother’s difficulty in communicating her true feelings and intentions to her daughter.
