I believe that's comparable to my experience with my mom. From my early years, I couldn't stand my mother. It wasn't until I became pregnant that I was finally able to identify with her. Although the relationship isn't perfect, we've been able to maintain that bond. I guess understanding the depth of love for our children was enough that I could understand some of the decisions she'd made in the past.
We've never discussed sex. Well, not until I was 17 and pregnant. Sometimes any change in status can make all the difference as far as opening dialogue goes.
