Me and my Mom have always had a complicated time with each other. Honestly, there have been times where she has treated me with a lot of compassion.. But, I could also say that she has probably said some of the most hurtful things I've had someone say to me.
She was an alcoholic (well, technically, that never goes away even when they stop drinking.. So, technically she still is even though she no longer drinks..) from when I turned 12 or so until a little while after I turned 20, last year. Well.. Long story short, she ended up having her gallbladder removed because of complications from drinking and ended up with guillain-barré syndrome.. Seeing her go through it, and not being able to do much to help her was a tragic experience. She's still recovering, and is living in a manor until she can walk on her own. She has been having a lot of problems with her memory and such.
I don't mean to go into all the details. I feel bad. But.. Basically.. I guess I'm trying to say..
For me, my Mom was there for me emotionally, in a way my dad never had been. There were times she treated me really well, and times she said some really terrible things to me. I often took care of her when she drank too much or was going through withdrawal.
I guess I'm giving a basis to the relationship, because, even though we had some really tough times, we also had some good times. Basically, there were a lot of times of arguing, and that always got me down. I'd have a really hard time getting through to her at times.. And my arguments with her probably made me feel worse than a lot of things I've experienced.
My Sun is in Taurus. My Draconic Moon is also in Taurus.
You said you have Neptune square Moon. Me having Neptune in the 4th house, I think that can explain it. Especially with your Taurus Moon. It's like.. Taurus wants to be close with their Mother.. They want that common ground. But, when it doesn't happen, it can be very upsetting.
Even through everything I've experienced with her.. All the bad things.. She still means so much to me. I guess there have been a lot of extremes between us. We probably stopped each other from killing ourselves more than once. But, at the same time, there were nights where she made me feel like dirt.
I guess part of why I went into detail about her getting sick is because.. I guess, maybe, if I had known that things were going to go so far downhill, maybe I would have done things a bit differently.
I don't know. I'm rambling.
I guess my message is that.. I know it is frustrating. Very frustrating. Especially with that Taurean influence.
And, I wish you and your Mom the best.
The example you mentioned just reminded me a lot of my relationship with my mom.
One day she'd be calling me crazy.. The next day I'd be trying to stop her from overdosing on pills. A week later, we'd be talking about all kinds of things, enjoying ourselves.
There's more to be said.. But, I've made this post long enough as it is. xD
