I hope the journey continues to bear fruit for you!<br /><br />-JGJohn Garretthttp://hypertransitory.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075045779850681691.post-6455774586894323002012-05-15T20:49:06.876-05:002012-05-15T20:49:06.876-05:00Yes!

I clearly remember my mother saying to me "Oh, you're just like me" after I had reacted poorly to something or had behaved in a way that I later regretted. Coming from a woman who was an undiagnosed bipolar prone to rage during my years at home, I found this terrifying. I still find myself worrying that I'm more like my mother than I care to be. <br /><br />But I think even in normal mother-daughter relationships, daughters fear becoming their mothers. Your mother is your most natural role model. When you're eleven or twelve, you have all these dreams of being someone important, wealthy, famous, etc., and you can't understand the value in your mother's choices until you're much older and maybe have children of your own. And you can see with all the wisdom and knowledge a twelve-year-old possesses where your mother went wrong. I can't count the times I said to myself, "If I were a mother, I would never treat my children like that." <br /><br />In the books and movies it's always so freeing when a daughter hears from her mother, "You are not me. Your choices will not be the same as my choices. You are your own person."Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964679029737331888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075045779850681691.post-33412256107673868922011-10-04T13:39:43.880-05:002011-10-04T13:39:43.880-05:00interestingly enough, my daughter tells me she is ...interestingly enough, my daughter tells me she is NOT having kids.

But this was not because I was such a good kid (I WASN'T), but because she had an endless wellspring of patience and ability to not perceive things as being about her. And lest you think I am about to just say how great my mom is: I'm about to tell you my perception of the flip side. She was an incredible mom of a kid and adolescent. As I have become an adult--pretty much utterly disinterested. I think there's something in that wellspring of total calm that can end up as ambivalence in adulthood. Like she used it all up (god knows I would have used anyone's patience up around 14 years old...). My point being: I know it must be crazy now, and I imagine when Solveig gets there I'll be sending you rants, too. But I think that this is a stage that you're going through together that may well end up as a certain kind of closeness when she's older that some of us don't have now. Maybe. Just maybe.
