Not many "relate" so I'm grateful to those who do and appreciate them..
Being "brought up" by a mother who, by her own admission in her last days, hadn't appreciated me, I've been taught the value of appreciating others in that old, cliched, "school of hard knocks"
(The mother talked in cliches to an extreme extent, it seemed to me, yet many IRL "liked" her.

I just wish she had "liked" me

Fuzzybear, my mother used to say the same thing about her own mother. My mom was very hurt by the way she was treated by her own mother. I could see that pain everyday in her. She spent her entire life looking for validation from her mom; which sadly never came. My mod died at 62 due to asthma complications, and her mother tried to find another excuse to not even be at the funeral. That is when the reality of the pain my mom felt, made itself plain to see. Bless you my dear! I am praying for you!

Hi Fuzzy

It sounds like many of those people who "liked" her, didn't really know the person she truely was...........and you deserve so much better than someone like that liking you...........you are so much more of a better person than she could ever be
And I am really sorry that she was the person she was, but ultimately she was who she was
So.........don't go wishing "bad" people liked you..........you're worth much more than that.........there are so many good people who not only like you but truely value you for you as well, that's what matters

And Fuzzy, it says so much about you that you can still truely appreciate some people so much despite your experiences...........real kudos to you!!!!

And from me..........sending YOU lots of appreciation, and hugs:



Alison

I wish my mother "liked" me too Fuzzybear. I understand how you feel. My life would be so much better if I had validation from my mom.
