Dear Anita,

I think so too. The deep rooted loyalty I have to my mother makes it “impossible” to love someone else. Others may love their parents but also soon grow to love a spouse with equal or more respect and loyalty.

Yet in my world the mother voice was omnipresent. I was out there as warrior queen fighting battles to right all the wrong that was done to my mother (similar to you) – this also includes mistreating others. It includes mistreating others who have never harmed me, and have only loved me  (that part I am wrapping my head around)
