Based on my experiences since my childhood, I want to change the relationship with my mother which is very painful for me. Our relations is not as happy as those I saw with my friends, neighbors and relatives. I don't see a mother-daughter relationship. I do believe that there's no perfection when it comes to relationship but I was hoping that ours will be fair enough for communication. I don't have a happy childhood. I was a battered child to my mom and my father is my rescuer until I was ten years old. To these, I was wishing that my father would have not died early. For he is my friend and a shoulder to cry on.
My friends, please share me your thoughts and ideas....

I'm very sorry to hear your situation... I believe some relationships are just un-fixable. I don't know what are the chances of your relationship with your mother to be improved...but think about this: not everyone's life is perfect. We all have imperfections and the things that we have, other might not have, and I know how it feels to be envious of the things that others have that you don't. Everyone thinks I have a good life because of this and because of that - but what people don't see are the things I lack of, and my ambitions and dreams that never came true (I don't know if I still even have hope ) - but anyway, I am still happy in general...maybe I'm not satisfied, (I think humans have no satisfaction anyway - we all want something else or something new after we get what we've wanted) but there are still things that I know I should be proud of and should be happy for. Maybe you're just missing those things in your life. Maybe you have to open your eyes a little more to see all the blessings that you already have. There's no guarantee that you'll never experience sadness anymore when you choose to be happy - but at least you can say to yourself at the end of the day, that you didn't waste your life feeling sorry and full of regrets just because you didnt' get the things you can't have.

Hello kquiming,
Actually I'm happy of my status right now. I have my own family with a loving and understanding husband (he knows what Im gone through, of course) and our only daughter. Though there's a little emptiness inside me I rely my missing part to our Father in heaven that inspite of the pains, He gave me family to bring hope and joys to my life. As you have said "humans have no satisfaction" yes that's so true for my past keeps on haunting me and Im fighting and struggling for my survival for the sake of my family.
thanks for the thoughts you shared. It enlightens me.
