Mothers and Daughters

Why is it that no matter what your age, with your mother you're 2 years old again? You want her approval even though you know you're never going to get it. Nothing is ever good enough and you want to not care and you just can't quite do it. You feel guilty for being angry with her and justified at the same time. And no matter how you fight it and swore it wouldn't happen, you find yourself turning into her. Then one day you look in the mirror, and there it is- her face looking back at you. You say something and you think, "WHOA! How did my mother's voice get in my body?"
