Its lunchtime, so time for me to do my weekly blog update. This week's focus is an article I found via ninemsn (http://www.cleo.com.au/when-your-mother-is-your-biggest-rival.htm).
To owe the truth, I noticed a lot of similarities between my my own life and what the article was discussing; in particular the parts about the mother caring for her own reputation, the daughter having some degree of depression, the mother wanting the daughter to do well so that the former will get the 'glory of having a "good" daughter' - just to name a few. The article was a real eye-opener for me, because up until now I was conflicted between wanting to continue to please her (regardless of the implications for myself) and just not giving two tosses about her.
That totally sucks. I know that its just not mothers. It can be parents as well.
