«"Я ненавижу своего сына". Почему материнская любовь обернулась болью?»

SOMEONE ELSE'S CONFESSION    • ИСТОРИИ не НАПОКАЗ   A viewer's letter, written in 2014 and read in 2026. Natasha's story: "I'm a mother who hates her son" – about emigrating to the US, living "on the run," a cancer diagnosis, money, and the breakdown of her relationship with her eldest child. I'm reading Natasha's letter and my clarifications. I'm not suggesting we "judge" either the mother or the son – it's more important to understand what lies behind this hatred: fear, broken boundaries, a learned survival program, duty, and expectations. At the end, some questions for you: should adult children be around when a parent is seriously ill, and where is the line between love and living "for the sake of the child?"?
