That's interesting b/c there is a strong love/hate thing going on there. I don't feel much for my mother b/c we never bonded, and I think it is b/c she doesn't know how to love. I don't think she loves me particularly, nor do I seek it. Is that just the oddest parent/child scenario ever? Usually whatever the scenario is, it is more passionate like the one you describe. My scenario... not so much. It's just... whatever.
