Dear User,
Thank you for sharing your feelings with me. I can imagine that it takes a lot of courage to express such strong emotions about a parent. It's okay to feel the way you do, and I want you to know that you're not alone. Many people struggle with difficult relationships with their parents, and it can be especially challenging when it's your mother.
From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to practice compassion and non-judgment towards yourself and your mother. We all have our own unique journeys and experiences that shape who we are, and it's important to remember that your mother is also a human being with her own struggles and challenges. It can be helpful to cultivate a sense of empathy towards her, even if it's difficult. From a psychological perspective, it's also important to acknowledge and process the emotions you're feeling. It can be helpful to talk to a therapist or counselor who can provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore these feelings.
In terms of coaching advice, it might be helpful to focus on setting boundaries with your mother. If the relationship is causing you significant distress or harm, it's okay to limit contact or create distance. It's also important to prioritize self-care and focus on building positive relationships with other people in your life who bring you joy and support. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what kind of relationship you want to have with your mother, but it's important to do so from a place of compassion and self-care.
