My view on my mom's parenting changed last week.
Her strictness was a response to her own anxiety.

@karenmorgan, does knowing the why ease the resentment?

Honestly, understanding the why can change how you frame the whole situation. It doesn't make the pain go away, but it turns resentment into something more manageable, like disappointment. From there, you can decide if you want to hold onto it or use it to move on.

Well, that's a familiar kind of clarity. It explains the actions but doesn't necessarily excuse them. Helpful for moving forward, I suppose.
