Do you get along with your mother really well?

Why do you think you get along or don’t get along?
Indy74 · 46-50, F
I love my mom. I would do anything in this world for her. She gave me a great and wonderful childhood. We have a very close relationship.

@Indy74 Lucky lady! 🍀

@Indy74 That’s great. Do you have similar personalities? How did she treat you when you were young?
Indy74 · 46-50, F
@Love4All yes, we do have similar personalities, but I have a mental illness and she is a big part of my support system. She treated me wonderfully as a child and teen. She always supported what I wanted to do in life.

Nope.... she sucked at being a mother

@Peaches Love your insights. I just wish I had gone to therapy for all that conditioning before having kids or had recognized I could do something to change my behavior instead of focusing on being angry with my mom
She still frustrates me so much but I try to check myself to see why ( self therapy 😁)

@Love4All It's never too late! 🙂

@Peaches oh yes, I am working on myself but now my kids are 17 and 19😏

I do. I'm the only one she gets along with and recently, she's the only one I get along with. My parents separated. My mother lived as a housewife and had a hard time earning when they separated so my father supported the entire family. I'm the only one who visits my mom. My dad and I were really close but he became distant when he found out I'd been visiting my mom as well.

@ryoshi0915 I hope things can get better. 2 of my children are divorced. One has a good relationship with his ex, good coparenting of their son, my daughter and her ex have a terrible relationship.
ryoshi0915 · 26-30, F
He is okay with me visiting her. It's just that we used to hang out a lot and I was like his favorite child. Nowadays he refuses my invitations and sometimes I don't get invited in family dinners and outings.

@ryoshi0915 that is a big "except!" So sad.
Peaches · F
NO, because she was mean and hateful. If you've ever seen the movie "Mommy Dearest" then you met my mom!😯

Yes, we get along as well. One reason for this is our deliberate avoidance of certain topics.
She is a bit judgemental and overbearing, but I love her and accept her as she is.

Half and half.
Love4All · 56-60, F
@XReaganX Do you want share?
XReaganX · 26-30, F
@Love4All I would but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be judged.
Love4All · 56-60, F
@XReaganX I won’t.
SweetMae · 70-79, F

I do. We care for each other

Would anyone like to elaborate on their answers. I am wondering what’s like to have a great relationship with a mother.
And also what’s bad, I don’t want fall into the “bad mother” category.
Miklee02 · 51-55, F
@Love4All just love your children unconditionally.... that’s what good mothers do
Love4All · 56-60, F
@Miklee02 sometimes I wonder what that means, what it looks like...

I did - sadly she's gone now. But whilst we may have had arguments, disagreements etc. over the years we got on well I think. She was always glad to see us, we saw her at least once a week - often 2 or 3 times a week.
Love4All · 56-60, F
@SW-User I’m sorry.
That must’ve been so nice.

I loved her with my heart and soul.
20 years gone this Christmas and I still have all her written letters she sent me when I lived in the States.
She was pure magic ♥️❤️
Love4All · 56-60, F
Thank you all for sharing
💖💖💖💖
I didn't, but I made it look like I did.

I didn't have the chance. She died when I was 11.
