I went through the stage of anger with my mom. She didn't understand anything I was saying, like I was speaking Greek or something. My other 2 sisters did the same thing with her. I think that she has a denial shield up to protect her because I don't think that her ego can accept the reality. I went about my way of building my life and healing myself. I am no longer angry with my mom. I actually feel sorry for her because I see her as very wounded and she is missing out on a lot of life behind her shield. I interact with her like I would any stranger. I have no emotions about it anymore so I don't have to be angry.
