When I was a child my mother told me she did not like me. I was devastated so I grew up hating her. One day I had a dream in which she appeared to me pregnant. I screamed at her, "You are going to do to another child what you did to me." Then I woke up. The next day I got back into therapy.
It turned out that my relationship with my mother was complicated. She had been abused by her mother and I reminded her of my grandmother. She had become my scapegoat for everything that went wrong in my life whether it was her fault or not Mainly she was unable to love me and not unwilling. There is a bid difference. I write about this in my book, The Art of Changing. I ended up forgiving her and holding her hand on her deathbed. God is good.
