The last time I spoke with her she told me I was no longer her daughter. I've heard that too many times during my life, so I figured why bother anymore? I've done everything I was supposed to do, or what 'they' say a woman is supposed to do in life, and now I've realized that life is short and precious and the conventional just doesn't do it for me. Bitter people are just that, even if they happen to be your mother, and I've learned to stay away from poison people. I wonder if any of you look back on your lives and wonder how people get the way they are? Or did God put people like that on earth to serve as an example of what not to be? I know that my daughter will never suffer the way I did. And...she had a very nice mountainbike (I was not allowed to ride and I never had a bike until I was 39). Thanks for the great posts here, I was nodding my head a zillion times, right down to not being able to pick a card out because nothing fit! Peace everyone...
INtense, you sound just like my cousin. My cousin is the sweetest lady, she's in her 60's now and her mother, my ancient old battleaxe aunt is ALWAYS saying nasty things about her and whenever my cousin calls her, she gets
it right in the face.
My cousin, no matter what she does or says makes her mother mad. and her mother tells everyone what she thinks. Age does NOT improve some people.
I just hope my cousin can outlive her mother just so she can heal a little from all the guilt her mother lays on her.
