I’ve gotten tattoos with my mom, smoked pot with my mom, done pills with her. She’s a millionaire business owner. Single mother of an only child. Strong.
At times she’s been a great friend to me, sometimes to a fault. Always with patience, always with love. She’s one of my biggest supporter. Some times enabler.
She will say the medications have helped me, but at the same time, she believes some of my symptoms are because I’m psychic, and really seeing ghosts. She believes in that stuff.
It’s going to be just us left, then just me. I love her very much, I promise to take care of her. Gods know she’s taken care of me.
What’s your relationship with your mother like? Do you get along?
I have my mom and dad. I talk way more to mom, always us blabbing on about something. When stressed out too much I go to her, it is relaxing. Just being in the same room really.
But she does get a little too assertive with suggesting life changes, like cutting my hair or doing exercises. I will only do these things if I have good internal reason to.
I had a poor relationship with my mother. She could be ok but then she’d have fits of hatred and I was always afraid of her. She was angry that I became sz.
I had a weird relationship with my mother. She left me with my great grandparents and lived her life. She was bipolar and I suspect she was schizoaffective based on what I know now and her behavior.
She died in 2010. It took me a long time to come to terms with how she was.
As a child I hated my mother. She was extremely physically and emotionally abusive. She even almost killed me a couple of times…
Growing up I always felt like I had to be the adult. Our house was filled with constant fighting, screaming, and aggression.
And yet, despite all of that, I still love her.
Now that I’m an adult we get along a lot better. The physical abuse has stopped. We’ve been slowly repairing our relationship and it’s a lot healthier now.
I get along very well with my mother but religion is a big wall between us. She’s never liked it that I turned muslim and tries to get me to turn back to her Christian religion. She’s very devout. But other than that we have excellent relationship. When I visit her we chat, cook together and play scrabble
My mom is 73 and still working full time. She plans to retire in March. She didn’t do a great job raising my brother and me but she put a roof over our head and food on the table as a single mother. She has her quirks, a bit of a hoarder and won’t wash dishes.
She’s helping me with a down payment on a new home. She says she just wants me to be happy.
My mum is 77 and has been caring for my sister with some severe mental health difficulties and alcoholism for the past 8 years
Before that she was my carer for about 6 or more years and for our schizophrenic middle sister for 12 years
She has also been positive and like a rock to me
She is my world outside of my marriage
As a carer she can get the vaccine early
I hope before she gets covid
