.... I did a blog some time ago with a title like::
"Are you still scared of your Mother"

Fantastic article in the Guardian today about one Mother.
I am interested because I come across so many humans who are knotted up due to having an oppressive parent - usually Mother.

This one makes me think. I have written about my relationship with my own Mother and we have things going on at the moment regarding Joan's Mother.

If this rings bells with your interest - due to your own experiences or others ........... this is well worth a read.

The trouble with Ma
Peter Beresford spent 15 years trying to protect his family from his mother's inexplicable hatred. It was only after she died that they learned her true feelings

'She's nothing more than a prostitute," quickly followed by, "but she has got good teeth." These were the opening words in my mother's relationship with Suzy when we told her that Suzy was pregnant and we were getting married. They set the tone for a 15-year relationship of uncertainty, shouting and abuse, which later went on to involve our children.
