Aww. It’s ok. It was very hard on me. Her death really messed me up. Time helps.
My mother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 8 years old but I never heard her complain. My grandmother said that she used to sneak candies as a kid tho.

It’s fine now, but it used to be strained.
Growing up, I found her cold and unavailable, and as a teenager I was convinced she didn’t really like me. I’d cuss her out and yell at her because I felt she didn’t care.
Now we live very far apart, but I know she loves and cares for me. She seems more warm and relaxed now, too.

I have very mixed feelings about my mother. I loved her very much but there were things about her that weren’t good. She was not the most affectionate of people . Around the age of 9 she told me I would never be as good as my father,a person she argued with constantly. She would tend to give two criticisms for one praise. She would regularly tell me I was an awkward baby,toddler ,child and teenager etc. If you had a problem she would turn that into her drama and as time went on her excuse to drink.
I do think she had her own set of problems through early life experiences that affected her and made it difficult to be the ideal mother. I have pictures of her holding me as a baby and back then she looked as lovingly devoted as any mother.
Have to stop there as this is making very sad and tearful though the actual tears won’t come.

my mother let me be a fat baby, I don’t know what she was feeding me
but by kindergarten I was terribly small. This was age 5 I was isolating and doing my big wheel, dolls, and my dog.
I think the fat baby came back in later years, and I always tried to fight it. I was always fighting to be small and thin like my mother.

My mom was very critical and abusive. Always telling me my flaws. She would let one of her boyfriend’s abuse me. When she got married to another guy she let him abuse me. She’s bad at communication and will not talk to me about anything. She only tells me to do things. I’m so happy I’m away from her. I know she deals with problems too but she will never admit it. I have a sister that’s a lot older that’s a drug addict and they don’t talk to each other.

I live with my mother and she is the most supportive person in my life.
She was an RN by profession and is very understanding of my problems.

I would say my relationship with my mother is quite good. I love her to bits. There have been moments where the relationship felt strained. She had a terrible issue with anger management, but i realise that this is a byproduct of her abuse as a child. I can always forgive her. Nobody is perfect. However, she always made me feel special and she was always supportive of what i wanted to do. She works hard and is very caring.
