Jilsyt...Sometimes we have to look at things in a different light. I never really got along with my mother. We are like you and your mother...at opposite spectums. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Find something, anything that the two of you have in common and start there. Also there are things that mothers and daughters don't agree with but as daughters we have to step back and let them voice how they feel. We don't have to agree with it, but by letting them think they are right some of the time it makes for a better relationship. Life is too short not to spent what time we have left with our mothers.
