Conditioning through our upbringing and culture is a given.
Unconsciously we take the deep divisions and dislikes we feel
inside and about ourselves projecting them outwards, especially
onto our children.
Projecting my stuff onto my daughter, she becomes the location of
the disliked parts in me. When I perceive something is "wrong" with
her I believe I am helping her if I can work to change her
behavior. The truth though is I've been conditioned to
believe I am "wrong" when I perceive that behavior inside myself.
I've seen myself through the foggy glasses and therefore take out
my pain on my daughter.
