Omg, I completley understand the mother-child analogy. I feel the same way with H. Sometimes, I think of it like a little kid having a temper tantrum. They get so upset and worked up, and throw a fit... saying, "I hate you! I never get what I want! I'm running away and you can't stop me!"
Like mothers, we know our H almost better than they know themselves. We know all their good points, we know their faults. We love and accept them, and we want them to better themselves. The mother-child analogy; not so out there
