You are just too complicated for your own good… get past defining yourself by what has happened to you, and MAKE who you are… even if it means wearing a bonnet (see the film “I <3 [heart] Huckabees]

As always thank you for the support, and sharing your own pain. This is always welcomed.

Although you forgave her, I understand not wanting to have the conversation. You are a good daughter, forgiving the hard things. xo

I had my mom say the same thing to me on more than one occassion – the abortion thing. Sure, I know she didn’t mean it. I know she said it because of her own untreated mental illness, stress, her family background with mental abuse in it. But it hurt, nonetheless. She apologizes for being a “bad mother” from time to time. But like you, I did forgive her for that already. I don’t want to carry the baggage of anger, hurt, and pain about every little statement she made that harmed me for the rest of my life. It’s stuff I’d rather get rid of.

Thank you Unpolarized, I just saw your comment, haven’t been over here in too long.

I agree that when we can share our pain it heals all of us just a little bit each time :)

Bravo to you for recognizing that you can’t do all of this stuff w/out some help. You sooooo need relief, even if it only comes in the form of medication. I hope that it helps lift the weight of all of this just a bit, so you can continue on and find solutions.
Hugs to you.

What a beautifully written entry, covering something that is something I have lived with all my life. I feel lucky having acceptance, and support from my dad, brother, and sister, while mourning the total lack of any understanding from my mom.

Getting such clear reminders from others that I’m not the only one always eases the pain, though it is tempered by the sorrow of knowing that there are others who have suffered that pain.
