Last year, I was talking with my mom about parenting and she said “well at least I never made you feel like I didn’t love you”
I proceeded to tell her about a time when I was a kid and she was yelling, screaming, and throwing things, and I said “I love you” in that small timid kid voice and she said
“well I don’t love you right now”
Our relationship was never the same after that and she didn’t even remember that it happened.
