I am soooo very angry at my mother for the following reasons:-

For the emotional abuse and turmoil
For hurting my husband deeply
For never ever supporting my marriage
For lying
For being critical of my whole being
For telling me over and over not to be big headed
For NEVER praising me in any of my achievements in life
For showing no affection
For crossing the boundaries
For role reversal - me being her parent
For showing jealousy towards me
and for never ever saying SORRY!!!

Rant over.............it all still hurts sometimes. I am 40 years old but every so often it hits big time.

I'm sorry...

I wish your memories had been much brighter. You're a wonderful person and I just wish your mother could really open her eyes and see that.

babs I know how you feel. my mom abused me physically and emotionally all my life til she passed. I thought it was over at that point but it continues even sometimes now when I think about her. it was her loss really. she didn't realize she had a very caring and loving daughter. she is the one that missed out.

Babs-- Big Hug!!!

I totally relate...I can't stand the sound of my mothers voice, just can't take her criticism and abuse anymore...when I don't hear from her I've learned to just live my life, but then she calls and it starts over again...

Babs - I get it! I'm 42, 17 years of therapy and I sat in my therapists office going on about my mom last night. I accept and I know she is limited but it still hurts and you still wish for something different.

Therapists use to tell you that you could mother your inner child and I don't feel (imo) that it works. There is nothing like a mom and either you got it or you dont!
