I saw some of your posts on SW thread, I didn't realize that your Mom has not been a solid part of your life. I'm sorry about that.

I remember reading from you somewhere in the past, that you were unsure about having children, unsure about your ability to be a good parent.
If I have you confused with someone else, I apologize.

I had a conversation with a young woman not that long ago, who had the similar concerns and a similar past.

One thing that struck me about her, was that she was owning mistakes, that were not hers to own.
They were her Mother's to own.

Just a thought. smile

It's fine, and thank you for taking the time to respond to me.

It is not only that she was near-absent that keeps following me. I'd have moved on from it a long time ago, if my family didn't do something every time I screwed up according to their very specific ideals.

"You're just like your mother."

Thank you again for being so concerned.


One year becomes two, two years becomes five, five becomes ten and before you know it, you've wasted your whole life on a problem you can't solve. That's one way to spend your life. -rwinger

I will not spend my life this way.

Stay on your path K, not theirs.

Vittoria--could you take a peek at my thread in OT?

I have a situation coming up that I'd like your opinion on. I just posted it a few minutes ago.

In fact, I'd like some help from you all.
