Dear Mina:

I am dismayed by your mother’s strong expressions of disapproval of you. My goodness!

She told you that you are weird. She told you that if she wasn’t your mother she wouldn’t be friends with you.

When she told you that you are “the type of person that people dislike the most”- she told you (not in these words): I don’t like you!

I can understand better the title of this very thread, why you felt so badly rejecting another person- because you were and have been rejected by your own mother and you know how much it hurt.

Your thoughts and feelings?
