I'm thinking so as well.. I believe that by having my mother (an adult) as more my friend I started considering her as my peer, thus as I got older I grew to see all adults as peers rather than superiors. This changed how I would adress people and since I spoke my mind so freely and considered my opinions as important and valid as theirs (if not more so), they reacted to me in a negitive fashion. Plus I was a smart child and had no qualms about correcting an adult if they were wrong (I admit I was a bit of a know-it-all), and no one likes to be shown up in such a "dissrespectful manner" especially by a child. Besides this, my mother was very strict in what I was allowed to do. I was very sheltered but I obeyed without question for the majority of the time. That is until I reached my early teens and my way of breaking free from her and her rules was much more drastic than a normal child's. And considering I had behaved so well until that point, my extreme actions came as a shock to my mother who took extreme actions of her own. Thus things escalated to the point where neither one of us knew how to deal or even relate to the other. Things spiraled so out of control that even today grudges are still being held and tension is very high between us. We cannot hold a normal conversation and usally before ten minutes has elapsed, we've gotten into a shouting match and someone hangs up on the other. It's difficult to even try any longer. She stills sees me as a beligerent child and I see her as the controling parent. It's a shame that neither one of us can get past this. Perhaps some day we shall.
