Posting after difficult, unhappy and discouraging conversation with my mother where she feels my behavior is confusing and disappointing, and she feels that I am unreliable. While this is nothing new, it is frustrating that my entire self-esteem and self-worth are so easily smashed from a ten-minute conversation with her. I feel like I am a horrible person and a disappointing daughter. I hate that anyone else in my life thinks I am a good person except my mother. I wonder if it is because she's the only one who is willing to be 100% honest with me, or if I really just can't meet her expectations, or if I'm a completely different person when it comes to her. I know in my head that I'm not the only one with a strained relationship with her mother, and I know that many are far worse than mine, but it hurts nonetheless.
