I decided to start this post after I noticed today, that three of us posted things in regards to the relationship we had with our mothers. Lately, the focus of my exploration has been the analysis of my abandonment/rejection issues and black and white thinking, in regards to how I was raised by my mother.

I figured that by starting this topic, it would give me an opportunity to really type out some stuff about my mom and begin to observe the connections that occur.

Unfortunately, I'm at work right now so I'm going to have to wait until my lunch hr. or later today to start doing it.

If others would like to do the same-- I know that hearing the insights and observations you all make in regards to your own situations are so helpful (& many times so similar to mine). Post as little or as much detail as you would like.
