Perhaps my post came across more negatively than I intended. I didn't mean it that way. Without tone of voice, it's a hard concept to discuss.
And of course it's not either/or. My own mother was good enough in some ways, and not good enough in others. My therapist actually sees her in a more negative light than I do at this point. (But ask me again when she's causing me grief.)
I'm glad your relationship with your mother is a source of support to you.
