Mother treats me badly - Early warning signs in relationships - You are not that - Bypassing intuition

Summary: Mom criticizes her, makes her feel unworthy, yet this listener still wants a relationship.   What happens when there are warning signs at the beginning of your relationship but you ignore them?   Do you change for someone else to keep them in your life or do you want to attract the person that accepts who you really are?   Bypassing your instincts in favor of guilt could be a dangerous path into denial (maybe even betrayal). Following your instincts may lead to a truth you don't want to know.
