I had a really long talk with my mom...we shared many things and talked about our past. I invited her to join PsychCentral. She said she did not want to invade my private space. I have thought about it and told her that I think it would be a good thing for her to know what I am thinking, feeling and struggling with.

We have been down a bumpy road, but now we are best friends. She left me when I was about 3 and did not come back until I was a teen. We have worked through our issues and developed a very strong and honest relationship. I feel blessed to have her in my life.

Yes, yes, I would like to share this part of my life with her.

Awwww ((((((((((((( DePressMe )))))))))))))))))))

What a very selfless act to ask your mom to join PC. I hope it is a wonderful experience for the both of you and I look forward to meeting her!

Mother might join PsychCentral

It's great that you've sorted things out with your mum and that you have such an open relationship. I've never talked through my issues with my mum. I hope your mum does join and your relationship continues to flourish.

<font color="purple"> Awww, now that's cool.
I'd be a little freaked if either my mom OR step-mom joined PC.
just because I know they are the prying type, and I like to keep this paticular portion (aka mental health) of my life very private. </font>
