After the divorce of my parents when I was three years old, I was left in the care of my undiagnosed psychotic grandmother. I was continually confused and neglected by my working mother. When I thought to complain to her she admonished me and said, “A cat has kittens they don’t bother the mother cat. Do you mean to tell me you aren’t as smart as a cat?? I felt ashamed to be in need of parental guidance as I grew up. Then I grew resentful at my life in her home After my grandma tried to kill me the my mother came to believe I needed her help. After I married I felt that I didn’t want her, or her help in my life. However, something happened that made me realize she was a good negative teacher. I am grateful we were able to improve our relationship.
