I was under that same impression about my mum, last year around this time. I felt that she hated me, because I'm a free-spirited person. Not in a Woodstock sort of a way, but in a British 60s sort of way. I felt that she couldn't stand that I found myself again, after 12 years. She couldn't stand the fact that this Mick Avory clone of a Kinks Fan suddenly walked back into her life - me. The daughter that she tried to feminize in the Summer of 1998. The nerd who wore those horn-rimmed glasses to try to prove her intelligence, just to look like Austin Powers. The troubled rebel who spiked her hair green, in order to look tough when she looked like Sid from Flushed Away in reality. Sweet, huggy Sid. :O) After all those disguises, she wasn't used to the real CockneyRebel, because she hasn't seen her since the Summer of 1997 or maybe just not ready.
