Perfect discussion to have with your T, I think. Maybe it'll help you work on some issues. But, I bet you can make a decent picture or write a good story and lots of other things too.

I don't know why WP, but I'm absolutely positive it had nothing to do with you. I'm so glad that you do for your kids what was not done for you. This is what I do too. At least they will grow up knowing that their parents did for them what yours were unable or unwilling to do for you. It's good you broke the pattern and that your kids will benefit from it.
Thanks for this!

Unfortunately that is what happened in the past. But now - you can learn all the things you want.

Sometimes things are just SAD. It's sad that you didn't get what you needed growing up, and it makes so much sense that while you're feeling insecure about the gift you're making for T that all of that would come up. I wish that your little self would have received all of the things that she needed and wanted.

There is no reason to be sorry. Be gentle with yourself. I'm learning that we don't have to treat ourselves the way we were treated. Maybe you will give yourself the gift of lessons in one of the things you didn't get to learn as a child. Or maybe just the gift of letting yourself feel your feelings. Don't beat yourself up for being sad, or having a hard time.

Breathe....

Hang in there - it's okay to cry! Be patient with yourself

Hi ... THANK you ALL for your love and hugs, and for being patient and listening. I cried a lot last night. I absolutely never cry, it was so weird. My son (23) came home around midnight and wrapped his arms around me while I sobbed. This morning an add for drawing lessons was left by the coffee pot. How sweet is that?

I think I will put aside some $$ and take some sketching lessons. I used to be OK at it, maybe with some help??

I wrote that whole initial message to T in an email too. We'll have something to talk about on Tues.

You have raised a good boy- a really good boy. I think using that ad that was left by the coffee pot is a great idea. I think I'm gonna go off an d cry a little now myself. Your boy has really touched my heart.

That was wonderful of your boy, a very special moment for you to share together. And so sweet to leave that ad, too.
And yes, take sketching lessons! You deserve to, and I think you will be joyfully surprised to discover you have more talent than you think now! You can learn and do whatever you want now.....you are special!

Reading about how your son responded to you highlights what a good mother you have been to him. He gave you back what you have been giving to him. This is a huge triumph! Now it seems that you will be giving some of that TLC to yourself! Great work!
