My inner child is scared of my mother!?

This might sound a bit crazy. I don't know where to post this. I was talking to my inner child today ( I decided to work with inner child healing recently) sitting in the balcony. My mother came by that side and I literally shivered at the sight of her. All these days I thought I hate her and I tried hard to let go of that hatred and anger. Wrote letters etc. Today I realized that it's not anger but it's fear. I don't know how to proceed or what to do. Can someone help me?
