Dear Cheska:

You asked, “Is it because of my upbringing that I react to my former partner the same way as my mother when things don’t go my way?”

To give you my answer, I need to know specifically (an example or two can help) what behavior or behaviors on your part you are referring to in the context of your past relationship.

It will also be helpful for me to understand your current relationship with your mother, how do you feel living with her, how is it for you?
