Risa Haasbroek Coaching

I had an awful relationship with my mom.

I hated talking to her.

I hated seeing her.

I resented any attention or support I was obliged to give to her.

Why couldn’t she just take care of herself? She was soooo needy.

These thoughts and feelings made me feel like such a bad person.

Trying to guilt myself into loving her more didn’t work.

Why couldn’t I love my mom? What was wrong with me?

Once I changed my mother started to change too.

Then I began to see how I was creating the relationship with my mom by the way I was thinking about her.

It took a few months, but the resentment slowly evaporated.

And the biggest surprise?

Once I changed my mother started to change too.
