My mom was amazing. She was always there for me. Even as an adult. She was funny, smart, patient, and had a temper when pushed too far. We are much alike. She was compassionate and giving. She gave her life to taking care of old people. She had one demon but it didn't define who she was or her ability to be a mom. She taught me those things by example, some discipline, and lots of love. I miss her.

@Livingwell That's really awesome...ty for sharing. My mom was a volatile sociopath who would bully me and taunt me and threaten me. And blame me that I was an awful child. It ripped my whole self out over time, and I developed PTSD as an adult. Just reading about how some moms really WERE kind, loving or supportive gives me a sense of how to reparent myself. Thanks 🌹

@Coralmist I have an understanding of your situation. My father was an angry man. I knew the belt and the hard walls well. I made a decision to let it go and never do that to my children. I kept my promise. My daughters are my best friends and we are very close.
