This happened to my mother, too. She became very strange when my father left us.

And I thought she was authoritarian and guilt.

In the end, after many years, I discovered that my mother was the only person capable of dying for me.

That's why she was so hard.

She saw our situation. And I couldn't see it.

And on top of that she never told me to thank her.

That's why I take care of her now :-)
