I’m very happy for you that you and your daughter are reconciled, you obviously had something worth saving
Regarding your question, part of me feels that what goes round, comes round, but I haven’t, and never have had the kind of totally difficult relationship I’ve had with my mother, she always made me feel a much worse person than I think I am, and I don’t want to do that anymore
Basically, I think the wrong child was born to the wrong mother, I wasn’t what she wanted, and she wasn’t what I needed
