I ask because I have always had a difficult relationship with my mother.
However, in the last couple of years, she seems to have changed somewhat in her attitude towards me, become more mellow and (dare I say) even caring. She herself is in her mid-70s now, and though she still has her "moments", there seems to be a change. I have pondered on what the reasons for this might be, and wondered if others have had this experience?
(I have also heard of difficult parents becoming even more difficult as they get older.)
