No worries. It's all good now. That was a long long time ago.

It does get better.

((((Hugs to everyone, including me)))) The stories I read here are one sad tale after another. The reason is because of the beliefs of a religion. I have my own sad tale, too.
I had a mom who was more like a child than a mom, while I was growing up. A woman who was too afraid to stand up to her abusive husband. Thankfully she did leave---but it was after I was grown up and gone. The Jehovah's Witnesses teach a punishing belief system. People who buy into the fear and guilt have been trained to accept punishment as a way of life. The JW religion supports a belief they already have inside them, namely that they must be punished because they are somehow inherently "bad". Guess that's why I left the religion. I now choose a healthier belief system and thus a better life for myself now. Love and hugs to you. ESTEE

such a sad thread for me also LL.

I have no feelings for my mother. Neither hate nor love. She was never "motherly" to any of us kids. She has severe issues and doesn't know how to love herself or her kids. None of us kids have anything to do with her anymore because a relationship with any meaning to it is impossible with her.

Mom,

why couldn't you JUST have been kind to us??

It is a sad thread. But as North America celebrates Mother's Day with all the commercialism they can muster I think it is important for us to have a place where we can say what needs to be said. I believe the UK celebrates this earlier in the year.

I know I will get phone calls on Sunday. But I feel like an orphan, disconnected to the woman who gave birth to me. That disconnection is so real from as far back as I can remember

There is no connection at all to the foster mother who cared for me for 3 years.

Yes. Very important.

Hugs to all.

I used to work with a woman who lost her mother to cancer. Every Friday before mother's day she would give a flower to all the mothers. Just one. She said it was in memory of her mother. Very sweet.

My mother is still alive, but is under the control of an evil cult so we have no contact. I guess she believes that her salvation is more important than being a mother.

Outside a small shopping mall today was an old bloke in a black suit and top hat, handing out flowers to mothers (and some little girls who were riding in their dad's shopping trolley/cart - they were most appreciative).

Dear Mommy,

I'm sorry for all those times that I hurt you. I didn't know what else to do. I miss you now so much and I would do anything to have you back in my life. I miss everything. I miss sitting on the couch just eating candybars and watching movies with you. I miss singing with you in the car. I miss you holding me close when I cried. I miss the smell of your perfume and your hairspray...it smelled like home. I miss the soft touch of your hands running through my hands running through my hair. I miss your funny jokes and laughing with you. You have the best laugh momma. I know I talk a lot of shit about you, but I do love you because you're my momma. You're the most beautiful woman in the world to me, and you always will be. No one can or ever will compare to you in anything. I would give anything just to hear you're voice.

You are my mommy and you loved me the best you knew how. I can't fault you for that. I know that you raised me the only way you thought was right.

I love you mom...

luv, bebe

mom,

I would like to wish you a happy mothers day, but I know you would look at me in disgust. I know you loved me when I was little and didn't want to hurt me. I am also beginning to understand how you could justify how we were treated growing up. I won't pretend to agree with your choices in raising us and making us live our lives totally scared instead of protecting us and getting us out of there.

My hope is that one day mom, you will be able to see that I love you and I am not evil. That our family has been needlessly destroyed by the Watchtower society. Until that happens I will send my love to you in thought.

Moanzy
