Yeah Purps I've seen your mums side come out now and then and you scared me! I have many of my mothers bad traits and I'm a guy!...I mean I don't dress in womens clothes or anything, but I have parts of her personality....can't pick your family.

i wrote this about 2 years ago...
an exorcism of sorts, as i will not
channel my mother......EVER!all mothers are daughters
so simple and yet
so amazing a concept!
i heard that on public radio
when they were doing a thing
for mother's day
my own maternal unit
is deceased..
12 years now....
she was....
unhappy
for all of my life
with her
when the host
of the radio program
asked for callers
to tell what their mothers
has taught them about life
amid the tales and tellings
of lovely sentimental remembrance
i tried to see if i could conjure
something of substance as an
adult child of an alcoholic...
and i could!!
of course it was not a cheery
or optimistic or fond recollection....
those rare interludes
are not what taught me anything...
maybe because they were few,
maybe because they were foreign,
or suspicious or insincere
the lesson i cling to
when reflecting on
what my mother taught me
was how to live...
not by example
but by contrast...
she was bitter
and brittle
and wore her disappointments
like ceremonial garb....
she clung to her misery
with a tenacious and self-pitying
grasp that allowed her to swing
her pain like a battle-axe
thru the lives of anyone
who was in proximal range
none escaped unscathed...
some did not escape at all
i learned from her
that an armored life
is not a protection
it is a prison
and she died
holding the key
in her hand
that is what i learned
and i will always be gratefulchickpea ( of the "i aint my mama" class)

I guess I am the exception here...I love my Mom.
I love my Mom too. But neither she or I am perfect. She's made mistakes and so have I. And she know just how to push my buttons and drive me crazy. But when I think about it my Mom and I are a lot closer than my siblings. When things are going good we talk almost every day about stuff, laughing and giggling. We've had a couple of bad falling outs the last couple of years and don't talk as often, which I should change. Mother said about a month ago that she had told a friend of hers that she missed her oldest daughter who is such a sweet person and whom she got along with best (I'm her oldest). Mom desperately wants me back in California.
I think I'll call my Mom today.

my mum always used to say that I was more like her mum than like her and now I think the same of my daughter!

I fight really hard to not be like my mom was when I was growing up. I will never act like she did. But I do notice some physical characteristics that are the same. Our hands and butts!
