Presently we're on good terms. It's taken a long time for us to get there.
On this particular subject, no I haven't asked her. But we did talk about why we conflicted so much and that's because she was upset with what I did when I was a little kid to a young adult. She said I would always embarrass her because I was always in trouble at school and I never did as I was told. She said it took her a long time to get over a lot of the things I did. She's not lying, but I wish she would have gone about it differently.
Unless your mom read a book about parenting she was taught how to be a parent the same way all of us are, from our parents. She was doing what she saw as the right way to deal with you and probably never considered reading a book. Reading a book might not of helped.
