OMG -- OMG don't know what to say...

haha.. it's okay.. there's nothing TOO say really. She just went off the rails. (she died of it too)

Well, I think my mom just died of meaness--which means she held on as long as possible just out of meanness--oh god, I'm going to hell!

haha .. nah you wont

I think being a Mum of their generation could be more difficult.....no way out really in their eyes if the shit hit the fan....and so some turned to drink etc to help them through or some Mums took their unhappiness out on their children...(I think we can all be a wee bit guilty of that from time to time too)...I have a friend who is an alcoholic and I cant reach/help her...I have tried and tried over the years but shes too far gone now

That is very sad. But as you have shown....the strong rises above it. Or as Mr Green Jeans would say...the cream always rises to the top of the milk!!

Yep.. I understand that..


and I agree with what you said too.. I think it was a lot harder than we seem to have it nowadays.

Thanks Ship

Unforgetable words of advice and only sex talk we ever had!

When I was a kid my mom could not stand having me around, I heard over and over again how she wished she never had me. I had knives thrown at me and a few scares where scizzors have struck me and had my left arm pulled out of its socked. It finally stopped when I was 14 and was calling child welfare to find a new home. She never did it again and in the end we turned out to be friends. I was very sad when she passed away from cancer and wished we had more time together as adults.

wow, what a story--I don't know how to react. I don't think I'd have been able to forgive her...

My mom showed me how to love unconditionally........

sorry...but Mum was wrong! ain't no man a-gonna get splinters there!!

Kitty....so sorry for your unhappiness as a child

I must add I feel she had something wrong with her that she just could not stand kids around or the noise that they make. When she came to visit me she would stay in a hotel as she could not stand beening around my kids for too long, but still wanted to see them. When I was a kid I was never allowed to have friends over, I had to play outside or at their house. She even would tell kids to get away from the front of her place.

She told me when I was an adult that what she has heard from other people that I was actually a good kid. We would go to the movies together and out shopping but I did find out when I went to visit her at her place that we would fight alot if I was around for too long.

Sorry but what is so selfish about this? each child is valued and loved, they are all seen as gifts from God. If only every child in the world was so lucky.

Well it definitely sounds like she had some kind of psychological problem, and in those days, people often didn't seek help. You are wonderful to be so understanding and forgiving.

thanks but I see there are alot who did not have a happy childhood, others always thought I had the perfect home beening a only child I got everything I wanted from my Dad. Kids would come and look in my closet and see what I did not want anymore and if they could have it. I wanted a record player I got a whole stero that sat on the floor etc. My dad gave me anything I wanted, would not even let me work in highschool just gave me more money. Mom would never let me do any housework so when I left home I did not know how to even use a washing machine.

Their religion says they are a gift from "God". But mine says they are a drain on the enviorment and society!

Again I am not surprised that they are from the same state as the other religious fanatic that protest at gay funerals. And protest at mliltary funerals, saying people are dyinf in Iraq because America is too lenient on homosexuals. Is there something in the air in Arkansas that warps peoples brains?

I am truly sorry to all those people out there that had bad mothers. My mom did the best that she could she had 10 children But she never ever told us she never loved us. It was had for her to show her love but we all new she did love each and everyone of us. She died at 53years old and I miss her ever day. But she always said you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Happy mothers day mom.
