We all have our stumbling blocks in life. What else does one do but pick themselves up and keep going?

You and I have similar feelings about our mothers. I tend to believe that there is some kind of illness involved but I do not have any pity for my mother either.

I still can't understand how family members especially Mother's can be our worst enemy and memories in life. You are a survivor....so am I. Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry these things have happened to you, but there is some condolence in knowing that my Mother wasn't the only monster out there......that there are other suvivors. I still believe that my Mother has a very bad illness......I do not feel sorry for her but, I wish that she would get help.

You're right.. Don't forget it.
But don't keep it too close, either. The fact that you survived and became a sane adult is both amazing and a credit to your own will to live and be. My mother was like that -- you never knew what would send her spinning out of control. What was fire and fear in you has become solid and a foundation -- from all you've written about your life, you are standing level on two feet. Way to go!!! :)

Pam complains about me. It's a rite of passage between mothers and daughters and honestly as long as she is complaining I am sure that I am doing my job right LOL!

I can certainly see why.
Makes me feel ridiculous complaining about my own mother.
Though my soul may set in darkness,
It will rise in perfect light.
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night.
