3. Irritability and Defensive Responses
Irritability and defensive responses to the mother’s comments or actions may be indicative of a buildup of negative, unresolved emotions. This can manifest itself in frequent arguments, overreactions to minor criticisms, or even well-intentioned advice.
The daughter may be constantly defensive, interpreting her mother’s actions or words as personal attacks or an invasion of her personal space, reflecting the depth of her pain and frustration accumulated over time.
