Glad this is interesting to you too, Cubic. My reaction to my mother was a matter of emotional survival. If I didn't toe her line, I'd get hurt. Not so much physically as emotionally. She withheld affection, I think.
My sister recently said to me "I (meaning herself) was a weird little kid. I thought it was bad to cry." When I said she hadn't come up with that herself, that she had LEARNED it, it was a shock to her.
