Isn't it strange how some people may ask what we'd like for Christmas, a birthday, ignore our response, then offer something we don't want, like, or need?
One Christmas my mother gave me towels! I was incensed, which of course, masked the deep hurt I felt. It seems so unfair that our own mothers don't attempt to know us better.....

Not being understood by one's own mother is hard. I know it well. This is beautiful rendering of that particular pain. Thank you for sharing it.
How painful it is to have someone powerful in your life who wants to change you.
