I'm not saying she isn't.
I didn't say every single mother means well, I said the bottom line for Silverlock was that he knew his did. Not every mother means well, and I applaud you for being free of yours.
Think what you like, but my relationship with my mother is not stifling and contrived. She has no iron grasp on my life, trust me. It's a genuine relationship that we have managed to find and nurture out of the painful past. We even both had therapy. Not everyone can do that, and not everyone should. It would always depend on the people involved.
