Love/Hate

I'm not afraid of my mother, but I am afraid of myself while around my mother. Mucho Homocidal/Suicidal shtuff goin' on there.


Anyway... what was being discussed earlier (about being afraid of ones mother) sort of makes me think on the subject of the love/hate relationship... and also about why some people cannot leave the ones who hurt them the most (abusive relationships). Do you think it's easier to leave an abusive spouse than an abusive parent? Do you think that some people seek out a spouse that mirrors one parent or the other? ...become one parent or the other?
