Is it normal to dislike your mother?
Yes, it can be normal to dislike your mother, especially if you clash, feel hurt by her, or need more distance. You can have complicated feelings about a parent without being a bad person.
Being someone’s mother doesn’t automatically make you compatible or mean you have to enjoy being around her. Conflict, feeling misunderstood, old hurts, or differences in personality can all lead to resentment or dislike—and lots of people have complicated feelings about a parent.
You don’t have to force closeness just because you’re family. It may help to think about what’s behind the feeling and what boundaries would make the relationship easier. If there’s mistreatment or the relationship is weighing heavily on you, talking it through with someone you trust can help.
