Congratulations. One problem brought out in the open & discussed. Just be wary - a leopard can't change her spots overnight. Be on guard for further developments.

Awesome Maxine
I admit to having to skim, as my kids are still up. I am so glad you made this accomplishment. I would love to hear more about it.

I am glad you got it out of your system. Enjoy this new relationship with your mom. I love my mother although I don't see her enough. Sorry about the childhood bitterness. So terrible to think of. Glad you are strong and happy today.

It sounds like you needed to tell her where you were coming from, and now your relationship can grow into the friendship you both hope for.

I agree with Moondawg. Seems to me you have taken a leap over the great divide and are now ready to begin again! Make the most of it. Good luck.

Hi Maxine,
Deep and powerful writing. When wounds are finally treated, healing can begin. Hope that is the case with you and your mother. Take care.

Sometimes this is what
it takes to make things alright. Now she knows your feelings and there are no doubts about them. It's called clearing the air. It has helped you with your resentfulness towards her and now she knows where she stands in the relationship. This may prove to be the best thing that could have happened between the two of you.

Hi Symphony.
I hope you can find balance so that you can be unemotional and clear-headed when dealing with your Mum and for your kids sake. My mother was still so wrapped up in herself that we couldn't be freinds. She still felt the need to make me even agree with her opinions and I am a 48 year old man with kids of my own. I don't try to make them think what I think. Good going. Keep speaking up for yourself and get help when you need it.
