> I agree, I'm not anything like my mother, BUT in general, this is
true. :-)

I became more liked my mother as I aged. I never looked like her when I
was a child with long brown hair and looked my like father, and she had
short curly black hair. Then when I was 22, I had my hair cut short, which
made it curl up, and the first time I accidentally saw myself in a mirror,
I thought it was her. After another five years or so, I noticed that
I was saying to my cats things I could remember her saying to me, like
"Hey! Don't do that! Be nice to your poor old mommy who loves you!" Then
when I was 30, I came down with migraine. All through my childhood, when
she would lie in bed in a darkened room with an ice pack on her head,
moaning, I thought she was a hypochondriac. When it happened to me,
I felt very guilty about having misjudged her that way..
