Yes well Justi I guess it all looks different now, we just have to hope we make our own right decisions. I am sure you make the right ones for yourself.

Heartfelt post, thank you. I recently apologized to my mom for being so rude to her when I was young & dumb.

I think mothers play a great importance as to how a child is nurtured Justi.

Obviously every mother is different, while blaming mothers is common among children, unless that parent expresses early on that choices we make- good or bad -are our own.

Such a word. You are so right it has been happening since Eve.... I am learning so much now. You see it is never too late to learn. Forgiveness is the only possible healing balm. Thanks for the reply. Be blessed.

You aren't the first woman (nor will you be the last) to perhaps carry some grudges against your mother; placing blame on her for some of the challenging you faced while growing up. I came to understand (shortly before my mother died) that she was doing the vest she could with the knowledge and support that she had. It takes a village to raise a child not solely a mother and they deserve our forgiveness.

It was good to get that out! I have never blamed my mother for anything but I often wondered how things would have turned out for me had she made better decisions! Then I am reminded and I share this with my children is that when they turned 18 they were raising themselves and I hope they learned immensely from the mistakes I had made and from the good things I had done, too! Great post, gets a person thinking of the way things were for them! I send my love and blessings in the name of the Lord and out Saviour! sam

Such a lovely thing that you will take out time to read us. It is good for you to be away some. I am so glad you have a wonderful relationship with your daughter, so do I but it was not always thus. We both hurt a long time from so many things not necessarily from one another. I sure hope you have a smiling sweet night. xoxoxoxoxo

I am fortunate in that my daughter and I get along like friends. We have always been close. Maybe because my mom wasn't around when we were kids - or maybe it was my immaturity - but I played with my kids alot. I think that makes a difference in the relationship even when they have become adults. Good post, Justi!

I always knew it was my fault, never blamed my parents, or my mother...even after she left.

Bless you too darling.....I wasn't very nice to My Mum when I was a
teenager. Funny how much she suddenly knew when I needed advice to help me with my first baby....and yes, we are products of our family values and our oportunities or lack of.
