If only kids were born attached to a reliable Raising-Kids manual, instead of an umbilical cord!!! I was a person that never believed my mother got it right, then one day I became a mum. I loved my son so much and gave all I had to be a sensible and good mum... But as he grew he believed that I didn't get it right... Now he is a daddy and his 10yr son thinks that his dad is out of his head, and probably doesn't know anything about being a good dad... It is part of growing up... to discover ourselves, to challenge authority and explore reason and cause. And then one day when upset at our adorable Brats, we open our mouth and hear ourselves roar the same words that our Mum/Dad said to us... And it is THEN that we discover the wisdom and love that own Mum or Dad tried to pour into our lives and hearts as we were growing up... and to oneday become a mum or dad just like them.

5th poster, very insightful comment. Does little to address the OP's concern. I gather this mother may have some mental illness (at least some issues to work out, like blaming the child for lost youth, wrecked relationships etc.)and this is not the normal parent-child relationship you describe. I doubt this poster will have an epiphany and say wow mom your right being rotten and selfish is the way to be.

My mother is selfish too. I hate it. I love her, but hate the fact that the whole world revolves around her. My father is the same way. I never realized it growing up, but I'm getting older and see it. I just accept that is who they are, and do everything I can to not be like her. I have my own son, and can't believe the way my mother treated me. I would never put myself before my son. Just make sure when you have children of your own, you don't make the same mistakes. Good luck!!

Just the fact that you realize you don't want to be like her will make you realize that you can't become like her.

Everyone has the capacity to be selfish. Aren't you by continually focusing on someone else? Grow up and work on yourself, when you are perfect then you can complain about anyone else who isn't.

My mother is the most selfish person I have ever met...she has pushed me to the side in favor of random men, lied to me continuously about the reasons my father left, and now that I don't speak to her, she feels like I am the bad one...but she's not the one in THERAPY...
