Thanks, Angelique. I guess...I was so involved with my mom's life, her day to day life. And my family life, when I was growing up, was seriously messed up. Nevertheless, I remained devoted to my mom. She died 12 years ago. I actually miss her sometimes.
I look at my relationship with my mother...I forgave
so much. I took my responsibility as a "good daughter" seriously. But here's my own daughter, raised by a mom who was always present for her, never the slightest
thought of abuse in her childhood home, and she seems to expect that I'll be waiting for her whenever she needs me. Nothing more, nothing less.
Anyway, I hope you're correct.
