My mom *loved* the trad life; she was a homeschooling housewife, dutifully caring for her children Unfortunately, her children did *not* love the trad life, and this resulted in a lot of upheaval I wonder how many neo-trad marriages today will produce children who hate it

As a little girl did you imagine you’d want a similar life (motherhood) or did you know pretty early that it wasn’t for you?

Calling you selfish was her ego defense for challenging her 'truth' and endanhering the validity of her choice, I would say. Sounds unlike actual love.
