Punkin - I know this sense of being hated. Truth is they don't hate us, they hate themselves, but because we are part of them, in their funny little MLC minds, they hate us. Also there is the mother/toddler thing - 'I hate you because you aren't letting me have my own way . . . .' Put them together with a life time of unspoken anger and it has to come out somewhere . . . .
