That's not to say that your mother didn't project hers on to you in an exaggerated way.

Oh I'm aware I have my own shadow apart from what was projected into me. I was making the point that I'm aware of it because my mother would say things like "you're using me, you don't love me". Though it was her not loving me, I was a, small child, I begun to notice any feeling /thought I had because I tried to guard against them in the hope of protecting myself from mother seeing them (she seeing her own as mine)
I just wondered why we had then at all. But yes, make sense what you say.
I guess we'd keep falling over ourselves if they didn't exist.
But why can some people not act on them and others do act them out like my mother did...
