Please can you tell me how this happened and how the relationship developed over time?
My mum’s parenting style is more suited to young children. Loving, engaged but prescriptive. This parenting style doesn’t work with teenagers and young adults. We have a complicated relationship at the moment because she doesn’t agree with my lifestyle choices (not talking drugs or alcohol here, more my choice in subjects to study and career). I have young children and it’s really nice now but I want us to have a close relationship when they are older too.
