OH MY. Very deep and wonderful journaling. Takes alot to get that out- I do it all the time and it is such a relief. God Bless ya for having the courgae to share. xox Laura
You are a wonderful person, don't you forget that! You don't need your mom, she's no good to you. You have a loving father and his family love you! You are strong and courageous, and I applaud you for facing your past and fears. Beautiful LO, and hugs to you, sweetie! I'm so sorry you have suffered this horribly. Big hugs!! You are a strong and wonderful person, and I hope you don't EVER forget that!
Hugs to you Alarae. I don't know how mom's can abandon children. I have four grown and everyone of them is special to me. You're a great person and I'm glad you're my friend.
Your letter is so honest and sincere. Though you may never have the answers to your questions it's good that you are moving on. A new chapter in your life is unfolding, and having come to grips with the loss of your mother, you can pave the road ahead without her. Stay on your meds, be good to yourself, and I believe you will find some peace and happiness in your life. I personally can't imagine why any mother would alienate herself from her child, but, sad to say it happens more often that we know. And sometimes it's the other way around. I really like how you did your title, and great use of your scraps!
Wow, very strong emotions to put on paper - I admire you for doing this! I hope that you are able to get some healing out of writing your feelings down like this. I only wish you didn't blame yourself... (((hugs)))!
Wow, this was emotional. You did a great job putting all this on paper and I hope it helped you. I am so sorry to hear that your mother did this to you. I am SO happy that you have your dad and stepmom that love you so much and I'm really glad you got help with anti-depressants and stopped cutting yourself. If you ever need to talk, please pm me. I am also on anti-depressants and I also have a very rocky relationship with my mother, I actually decided to get her out of my life a few weeks ago. (((HUGS)))
Wow...so emotional. I am glad that you got that on paper. Sometimes that is enough. But, if you give it to you mother...I wish you the strength and courage that you'll need. Great job btw
I'm proud of you for having the courage to write this, even if you are not ready to give it to your mom yet. And maybe you will never be, but this was very important for you to do for yourself. Hugs to you!
Wow, honey. You are so brave for sharing this with all of us. So personal. I hope you get all of this straightened out. Even if it's just your own decision to move on... that would still be better than allowing her continue to make you feel the way you do. Keep your chin up, sweetie, and keep leanin' on your TC sisters cuz you know we're here for you. Sending you big hugs...
This is for Belle's scrap challenge. All is scraps except for the brown cardstock that I used. This was a very personal page to do and I am putting it in my Book of Me album. This is a letter to my mother. I scrapped it because I needed to get the words out, but I'm not ready to give it to her. The letter reads: Why are you not here for me? Why do you ignore me? Please tell me what I did. You were always there for me and always helped me make the right decisions--you loved me. So what changed? Why don't you care about me? Why don't you love me? Is it because I moved in with Dad? Just tell me please--I'm dying to know. You don't call. You don't write or even email and I know you know my number and email address. You have made so many promises to me and you have broken every single one of them. How can I trust you? You don't want to talk to me or see me. You can't even tell your own daughter that you are getting married. Why do I have to hear it from strangers around town? Why is Ashley your favorite? Why do you love her more? Why is it that at only Christmas, I'm good enough for you? And then you barely talk to me--WHY? Why is it your side of the family hates me? Why is it that you hate me? Because of all this, because of you, I am suffering from depression. Because of you, I cut myself and have scars all over my body. Because of you, I had to go to counseling. How could you do this to me? How could you abandon me? But what's done is done and you can't get the past 5 years back no matter how hard you try. To be completely honest, I'm better off with out you in my life. I may have to be on anti-depressants and will have to look at the scars for the rest of my life, but I hae a dad and a step mom and their whole families who love me and accept me as their own. I have grown so much from this and I am a better person with out you in my life.
