She is not kind or supportive to me. She does not have respect for me or my boundaries and she continues to treat me poorly and without affection.
And so you have very strong grounds, very strong justification, for resenting her just on the basis of the present, regardless of what she may have done or not done did in the past.

Quote:
Is it okay to feel this way?
Yes.

With regard to coming to some sort of understanding with her about her role in the past: It will be very difficult to come to some sort of mutual understanding with her about the facts of the past, and it will be very difficult to examine with her your feelings and resentments about the past, when she is hostile in the present, when in the present she gives you no reason to trust her or even to like her.
