After the other day I just lost mad respect for my mother as a parent and as a person. All my life my mother stood by and watch my older sister pick with me everyday of my life as well as let people outside of my family get over on me as a child up to the time that graduated from college. I asked her how come she never said anything or tried to handle the siuations that came up she told me out of her own mouth. That she doen't like problems and conflict so to keep peace she let people have their way with me becasue sonner or later they will leave me alone and things will get better. How do you tell your child that you never had their back because you was afraid of what people might say or think about you. After hearing that I haven't been able to eat or sleep it's been on my mind like crazy.

eyeswideopen agony auntSome people just can't handle confrontations, it just isn't in their realm of ability, that goes for mothers and fathers. Unfortunately it has hurt your feelings and that's not good but it is up to you to get beyond it and try to understand your mother, maybe in time you will be able to forgive her this weakness. I'm sure she loves you dearly. Try will you?

it happens to me all the time.

you wanna hear something shameful.

i was 14 @ the time my dad died.

@ my fathers funeral i bursetd out in tears when the cofin lowered (i had not cried until then i had been in shock) i couldn't stop crying and instead of my mother consoling me she told me to "stop it because i was embarrasing her" from that moment on i virtually disowned my mother i've just finished school and am still @ home (i'm 18 now) but i'll be out soon.

I will always hold a vengeful grudge against her.

really how can your own birth mother tell you to quit crying @ a funeral becuase your embarrassing her?!?!?!

now i wonder why i'm so fucked up in the head with self esteem and negative issues....
