Mothers Day!

At that point in your life , during that era, boy, that just made it sound as though it was prehistoric!, well the impact was more severe than in today's young as it is becoming a regular occurance,... saddly! The lack of support and attitudes against these women and children, and in some cases the fathers were extreme in comparrison to today. Being raised in this way has many hidden impacts and even when a person believes they have addressed the surrounding issues haunting moments regurgitate to revitalise old memories.

Oh Im sorry you feel like that :( but Im sure you are not alone. I think Mothers day, Fathers day, Christmas etc are very painful for a lot of people. I wish the media were more sensitive to this issue and downplayed it a bit.

Yes, Mothers Day is happy occassion! I miss my mother too, because my mother is not with me right now, I understand how you might be feeling. I am sorry to know that, please remember that what ever happens it will happen for good, your lucky that you became mother and ple be happy with your kids.. Take care..God bless you...

I'm sure you're not alone in this, in fact it's happening more these days then ever before I think. It was very unfortunate your mother walked out when you were so young, however if I may I would like to give you a little something else to think about. I would have much prefered my mother walk away than do what she did. She has never once told me she loved me, she has never given my daughter a birthday card, phone call or an I Love You even though my daughter was her first grandchild and is her only granddaughter. I sent my mother cards she sent them back unopened, I phoned and she said she was busy and hung up, she said some pretty mean things and did horrible things to make me feel like I wasn't wanted. There is a reason for everything that happens and I'm sure this all happened to me because I am a good person with a lot of love to give to children and that's what I'm doing. I have no idea why this has happened to you, but sometimes we just have to count our blessings one by one. Take Care

Well my mother didn't walk out on me when I was three but most of my life I wished that she had left me, I have even asked if I was adopted because I still can't believe she is my mother. At this point I don't feel anything and I don't celebrate holidays let alone Mother's day. I tell my children I am a mother everyday and they should celebrate that because my mother is not much of a mother. You might be the better off, it could have been worst with her.

your still lucky you still have your mother. anytime you can still cope up for the lost times. unlike me and everybody else who lost they're mother at the very young age.
