Children need to have someone

And they need to KNOW they have someone. My mother was dependable, but for some or no reason, I couldn’t know it. So much mental anguish for nothing.

As much as my mom and I always fought, she stood by me through it all everything. I didn’t see it either and I think that is just normal for kid stuff -

It isn’t until we grow up or become parents ourselves, we realize how much our moms were there for us.

The conflict came because mother had dreams for me, dreams I couldn’t live up to.

yeah mine too. She wanted me to be an archaeologist or vet… I did too but then illness struck me down and reality set in.
