Everyone needs to call thier mother!

We have to call our moms. No texts, emails, it must be a phone call. To tell her thanks for being brave enough to have us. Thanks for having enough faith and strength, to bring a baby into the world. Thanks for the sleeplessness nights. Thanks for the baths and diapers and feeding us. Thanks for the sacrifice. Thanks for the sacrifice.

There are no guarantees in life. If they would have asked me before I was born. We will give you 20 years, and it will be over, I would have taken it. 40 years, the same deal. 50-60 years, you get it. To just be part of this unexplained miracle of life. We take it for granted. But each day is a gift. Each week, each year. Good or bad, it’s all a miracle. And I for one , am glad my mom was brave enough, strong enough, and great full enough, to have me. Now call your mother!

I loved this really touched my heart and oh sooooo true I lost my Mom when I was 13 she was only 41 ……cancer 😢what I wouldn’t do to call her and tell her …. But you know I will in my prayers tell her how much she was loved and how special she was to so many people ! I can remember at her funeral the place was packed and they had out side speakers for people who couldn’t fit in the funeral home .She really was a very special person to so many ! Happy Mother’s Day to all of you Mother’s out there I hope you get spoiled and get lots of love ❤️ 💐💞

I am very thankful for my mom. I love her so much. Wish that she could be with me every day. Its awful that she is affected as well with this anxiety/depression ailment. We have miss so many precious moments because of this horrible ailment. I wish I could have understood sooner what she was going through. But you dont know until you have walked in their shoes. I try to do my best and call her every other day if not every day.

Well you would only ring my mother if you wanted to be stabbed in the back!

in reply tohypercat54

Same with me I decided the best thing to do is to save myself the upset and not bother!

There have been times I have rung and had the phone slammed down on me for stupid reasons!

Thing is if you feel so aggrieved because someone has dared to ring you then don't answer the phone at all!

I dont think anything of it if someone can't come to the phone and ring back later on and if I'm busy I don't answer the phone rather than answer and slam the phone in their face with excuses that are stupid!

Yes I get that. My mother would never have slammed the phone down but she would back stab you if she could. Not everyone has a loving supportive mother do they.

in reply tohypercat54

Best thing I decided to do is nothing and to sod them and not bother for my own well being!

Ha ha me too.

in reply tohypercat54

What I did decide to do was in the rare event that I really really have nothing better to do then I will get in contact which is a very rare event when I really really have nothing better to be getting on with!

I was not able to put into words, just how important moms are. I don’t think I will be able to word it right. They don’t know if thier kids will be born healthy? They don’t know if they will have complications during pregnancy? They don’t know what struggles they and thier kids will face? I guess we should give dad some credit too. I will never be able to word it right.. how brave our moms had to be. For 75 years or more they have had a choice. To have us or not. And not enough of us realize how lucky we are. The world can be a harsh place. But it’s also full of wonder and beauty and happiness.

I love when my friends share sincerely with me about how they had a loving mother, but not everyone has. So as much as I appreciate that you have this gift in your life, there are some of us who didn't have that experience. So it's okay to be your own loving parent in those cases, and be grateful you have overcome abuse so that you can learn to love yourself the way you should have been.

Im the same I'm glad for the people who have those kinds of relationships and wouldn't wish them harm but it upsets me when things I have lost out on are shoved in my face!

Are you glad you were born? It took the things I mentioned in the post , for you to be born. There is no perfect parent, never has never will be. All a pregnant mom has to do is have the baby, or not have it. The purpose of the post , was to say I’m glad she had me . She was 19 and not married without a job.

Well good for you!

It feels so good to fore give. Maybe you can try ?

in reply toDaveacr1959

I will forgive when I am good and ready to do so for my own benefit not yours!

Just to make it clear forgiving will be done for my benefit and it doesn't mean that I will sit back and let people be rude to me!

Nor me Catgirl. When someone puts a post up they are inviting replies whether positive or negative. You can't pick and choose what kind of replies you require.

Sometimes a person who has no conscience about what they have done wrong feel they need forgiveness... some people should not be parents.

in reply tofauxartist

Just to explain forgiveness is something you do for you not for someone else and it takes time and you do it when you feel ready to do so and forgiveness doesn't mean you have to be friends with those who have hurt you.

Like I said I will forgive for my own benefit when I am ready to do so!

Sometimes we have to forgive our selves for all the self blame, self-abuse, and self loathing that came from having our little psyches destroyed as kids and how it influenced some unhealthy choices we made as adults. Forgiveness doesn't mean we have to forgive what was done to us. We forgive the bad experiences she or he put us through....not for their sake, but for OUR SAKE

I agree some people should not be parents. But the bottom line here, is are you glad you were born? Or do you wish she had not had you. She had hopes and dreams and courage to have you. This world can spin it out of control. But it still doesn’t change the bottom line. Glad your here ? Thank your mom . Foregiveness is not that complex. Either you have a forgiving heart or you don’t. And I realize some things might be not able to fore give. Then you just don’t and move on. But I don’t think your mom falls into the unable to fore give catagory

It happened to me all the time as a kid and young adult... I would be asked about my mother and I just would say we don't really have a relationship.... then they would gleefully tell me how great their relationship was with their mother and how much they loved each other ...blah blah blah.... And I used to quietly, painfully, and deeply hurt... be thinking; 'what a selfish a**hole. Why would you rub something like that in someone's face, knowing how hurtful that is to do? If you had my mother who is a sociopath, cruel, resentful, spiteful, and hateful every day of my life lived with her, let me know how you would feel then.

Kids, like I was, grieved the loss of something would and will never know, every day of our lives. Some parents just don't have it to give, my mother never knew what love meant, except for herself.

I understand how that could make you feel towards her. I wonder why people you make sound so awful.. even have kids?

Maybe the people who don’t consider thier mother a loving person. Should at least give her credit for the things I say in the post . After all, the bottom line is they would not be here, had she chosen to see.. a different type of dr

Thing is there's no excuse for child abuse that lots of us here have experienced as I have myself!

None.... we never forget... we live with it everyday of our lives, mostly quietly, but we are the walking wounded who sometimes have to fake it to make it... but we fight the good fight to keep on living in spite the damage done.

When you walk in the shoes of an abused child, you can learn the nightmares they lived.... I'm happy for you that you have a good relationship with your mother, truly I am... but also be understanding that a lot of us here were abused by our mothers, so severely that the scars never go away... I have CPTSD and abandonment issues with my depression.

We have to accept that there are just some truly evil people in this world...

I’m getting a few .. my mom was not that good responses., the point of my post was.. your mom had a choice to have you or not have you., and the things in the post are true about that ., there has never been a perfect parent. Yet alone a perfect world .

I read something the other day.

" I will remember and recover. Not forgive and forget"

I am also a survivor of emotional abuse as a child.

in reply toDolphin14

Sad thing is emotional abuse is a common problem lots of people go through.

I understand the reason for your post. It’s in appreciation of the life you were given by your mother. I support your happiness because that’s why I’m on HU. To give positive support for happiness and to give positive support to people who aren’t happy. I celebrate when a person has found a reason to be happy in a world filled with unhappiness. A small reprieve for those people and I try to encourage that reprieve, not oppress it.

Without a positive attitude, you are doomed in this life. I was just posting about the awe and miracle of life and all life. And the sacrifice of all moms .
