TinaL: I'm sorry your going through such pain. When I read your post, I believe it stirred up some transference in me towards you. I take care of my mom and practically do lots of things for her. The only thing I expect in return from her is respect, love, and for her to be happy. Unfortunately, that is not the case at all. She's so bitter and says hurtful things like your son to me. I wish I had an answer for you. So my transference toward you was I wished you were my mom for a split second and just maybe you would appreciate the things I would do for you based off what you just wrote. Maybe I'm feeling this way too because your son and I are close in age. Anywho, I'm sorry again that you're being mistreated.
