It also helps to realize that parents are people too- with their own personalities and quirks, and YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE THE PERSON, but you can respect their familial relationship to you.
You can respect your mom for raising you and doing (what was in her mind) the best she could. However, you don't have to like your mom, and you don't have to do what she says. Love her YOUR way, and let her know you love her YOUR way, and perhaps one day she will see that there is still love between you even though she's not getting what she wants.
If you had a toddler who was angry and demanding because they didn't get what they wanted, you'd not give in to their demands, right? Well, sometimes adults act like toddlers, and it's important to not give in to their demands as well.
