I have become that mother I used to dread.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Anyone who's a parent dreads that call in the middle of the night. I have four grown children and I still dread it.
As a mother, I'm constantly feeling like a failure.
I've ended up becoming my mother in some respects, despite my eight years of analysis!
Hatred of the mother is familiar, but the mother's hatred still comes as a surprise.
Being a mom has changed me forever.
Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.
I just think that for a lot of people - not to take the focus off of myself - that feeling of imminent dread, like a cloak of black dust, was always around me.
I had a very strong-willed mother, who I totally adored. She was always in control of her life.
I've never felt like I was in my mother's shadow. If anything, I felt like I was in her embrace.
But I still always felt the absence of a mother.
