Maybe your mum shouldn't had kids"

Maybe it's more that it felt like your therapist was saying you shouldn't have been born, when what she might have meant was that your friend triggered a feeling in you that evokes an impression of your mother--someone not caring about kids--and she was asking for clarification on that impression? I know I have said this many times to my therapist and others, that my mother should never had had kids, and everyone has agreed--their point (and mine) being that she was just not mom material. It's a separate issue from whether or not I should have been born.
