My relationship with my mum has been sort of strenuous although it hasn't always been like that. When I was a kid I was attached to my mum mostly because I didn't like my dad. However after my dad died I became more distant from her. I'm not exactly sure why, and I know I'm not qualified to perform any self-analysis as to why. In any case by the time I had left home I wasn't exactly sad to leave. The next few years were hard on our relationship because I wanted to distance myself emotionally and physically from my mum. I wasn't really tolerant of my mum which put added strain on our relationship because I would tend to lash out at her for little things that I found wrong with her or things that she was doing. Again I'm still not exactly sure why, but even now I'm still not as close to my mum as perhaps I should be. I haven't been the best son, but I'm trying to get over my own hangups and learning to become more communicative and more "sonly." I realized that she's the only mum I have, so I have to learn how to appreciate my mum more and treat her better much better than I have treated her in the past. I really have to learn to appreciate what I have in front of me.
