He might've be carrying crap himself and he chose to be an abuser. The worst kind. So just maybe ur mom wldnt let herself get closer to you. Wldve see had to watch him do to u wht he did to her? Believe me, she was a silent lover of her daughter. Maybe she was, also, holding on loosely to you bc she had to.

That's what counts.Nora N.

It's painful to watch. My mom can talk but doesn't want to talk about the big things. It's all about how she is feeling and which of her friends are sick. So don't feel too badly; the opportunity you think you lost may not have been the opportunity you think it was. I don't know if this helps or not, but I hope it does.Dr. Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04776830530694403715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840416226414459493.post-33469915379157506762018-12-04T23:30:49.017-08:002018-12-04T23:30:49.017-08:00I have just read this blog, I didnt realise that t...I have just read this blog, I didnt realise that the knitting fool website had a blog attached until it was revamped. Anyway I found myself reading this and before long I had tears running down my face. It seems to me that your mum was a lot like my mothers mother. She never gave compliments, always found fault with things but loved us all the same. You can't beat yourself up too much as you werent to know that your mum would lose the ability to talk. It is always confronting when it is happening to your parents, as you dont want to accept their mortality as it means accepting your own. My mum can do everything crafty knit sew spin yarn, dye it, weave it and in addition to that she can paint in any medium. Pretty much everything crafty accept pottery, although she does paint it. Did I mention she can draw too! Me my big effort is knitting. I have kept at it, just to have something in common with her. I have children but she isnt interested in them, despite wanting a houseful herself - which she did, Im the eldest of 7! I guess we just have to realise that we are all human and therefore not perfect. I hope this helps you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701242171578429360noreply@blogger.com
