At the end of the evening, I found myself asking if she would be a mother figure, to me. My own mother is so cold and heartless and she is all I have.
Unfortuneately, the woman she turned down my offer to stay in touch and be like a mother to me. That is what I expected. For one second I did enjoy showing my vulnerability and opening up to someone, and I truly felt heard and understood on a deep level, a human, spontaneous moment..
She took my hand and said although my family may be cold and distant, that keep in mind, your biological family is all you actually genuinely have.............

JUNERAIN, YouR message touched me so much I cried. I never had a good relationship with my mother. I had an older sister and younger sister. I was the middle child. I was the independent one. I had to become independent because at an early age I grew to learN that I could depend on no one but myself. My mother never reached out to me to do the mother/daugther thing. She never had time for me. I believe that's one reason I am having emotional issues at this time. My grandmother was my role model and unfortunely she was murdered when I was 15.
I know how it feels to not have a mother figure. With that, JUNERAIN, feel free to reach out to me anytime you need. I can't be your mother, but I wish I could. You seem like such a lovely person. Your mother doesn't know what she is missing having a great daughter like yourself. I WISH YOU WERE MY DAUGHTER.
