I like what MrsMogul said....remember your soul, girl. The strains caused by the relationhip with your mother, I know, are so very hard. The family issues seem to cause so much more duress than anything else, and to top it off with your own issues and fears while facing social events where you are expected to behave in a certain fashion can push a woman over the edge. I love you. I am here for you, should you need me. I’ve been told I give great hugs!
It must be the stress. It is the cause of so many unpleasant moments in our life and it’s the main ingredient for a lot of diseases. I had a grandfather that, through his nature, could not be stressed by a thing. He has also fought in the WW II and died at the age of 90. It is true, he had a good wife, she is still living, and not stressful kids.
I feel for you. You’re absolutely right about worry getting you nowhere… it won’t change a thing.
I know it’s hard (I had a biopsy wait myself last year), but just continue to put one foot in front of the other and take it day by day.
Hugs are always a good thing too!
Hi, I Love you ,and I do`nt want you to worry about me and your mother. there is nothing you or anybody can do,thats between her and I .You have to take care of your stuff. Iam praying for you and Kevin everyday.
First things first,get well,beat this shit!!!
I Love you Dad
Relationships are hard, especially with our parents. We are supposed to have this warm, nurturing relationship and there are so few of them out there. Each parent is a human being first and foremost and we all have faults. I went for many years without speaking to my parents and our relationship is still a bit on the “cool” side, although we do both try. My Hubs’ mother is a whole other story. She’s very hard to like, let alone love.
I don’t know you IRL, but I get such a sense of your soul through your posts and comments you’ve left on mine and other’s blogs. You will never have to worry about being a very beloved mother with children who think the world of you. For one thing, I’ve found you need to be honest with your kids about what you are feeling and going through. If you are honest with them, they can be honest with you. Show them you ARE a human being, not some “parent” on a pedastal.
Stress is a great annoyance in life. Bad news for ya, hun… even if you worked full time you would STILL have those committments. It’s the way “shit” happens.
Hang in there. I know it’s rough, but it will get better. I promise.
It’s interesting that you mentioned “If I had a fulltime job”, but you DO have a fulltime job! Just because there’s no monetary amount assigned to it, doesn’t mean it’s not a job. And it’s 24/7, no days off, not even holidays.
You’re going thru so much right now, being overwhelmed is totally understandable. I hope you’ll pamper yourself & be as good to you as you are to your loved ones.
I think each of us has some sort of issue with our mother. I think it helps us become better mothers to our own children.
Stress is horrible isn’t it! I think it’s so great u are soo active in events.
Take a deep breath and remember your soul:_
