I had a difficult day with my mother yesterday, and was lamenting to my husband on the way home about how I can see her trauma, and her thought processes. I can see similarities but I remarked that I don't feel like her, and I don't feel similar to her but I have started to realise in my 30s that we have similar instincts and reactions.
My husband commented "It's like you both have the same controls but are driving different machines"
And I thought that was a really nice way of looking at it.
