I would say pretty much everything. But I could only guess it all comes from her childhood I really don't know for sure what is the root of her anger but the real problem is she wants to make everyone else bitter also. I know she has had difficult times in her life but she is not willing to change and I am not the one to help her because i am her daughter and she is the mother.At least that's what she says to her children.
All I can do is pray about it and believe God will melt her heart some day

Well, anger issues will do it. I had anger and self-esteem issues as a result of being belittled and put down as a child. My husband had anger issues, because his parents died when he was young; and when you're that young you view it as abandonment. People in this situation will do one of two things. They will either try to draw people to them that will continue the control and abuse, because they feel that is what they deserve; or they will "mirror", cause other people to feel the way they do by treating them in such a manner. It sounds like your mother "mirrors". In her mind, she feels that it is only fair for others to feel the way she does.

My grandmother is a bitter person, but not mean. She talks about my grandpa like he was awful to her and it is so sad to hear. I finally got enough courage to tell her that I don't see it the way she does and I love him and I wish she wasn't so bitter toward him. He's been dead 10 years for heaven's sake let it rest. It hasn't stopped her, but at least she knows how I feel about it and that makes me feel a little better even if she doesn't.
