Oh man... this is my ex wife. I'll tell you from my experience this manifests itself in very strange ways. She begins to act like her mother... then gets angry with herself when she does. Since she is a woman, and she is unhappy she blames the man in her life for her own self inspired hate.
It becomes this odd love-hate relationship. Since we have kids, we are still in contact, and she has to let me know when she is taking the kids out of State as a condition of joint custody. She'll go on and on about how she can't stand her mother and how she is dreding the trip.... but she STILL fvcking goes.
She continues to try and get acceptance from her.. even though she says she does not want it. She will change her plans with just a comment from her mother. When her mother walks into a room and says "I just don't like this color... and at the first opportunity she is painting the walls."
In short.... if a woman has a dysfuctional mother, she will herself become dysfuctional, if her father is a weak @ss b!tch like her father was, and refuses to intervene. If a woman has a weak mom, but a strong father, she'll turn out okay, but she will STILL have issues with her mother.
