Week One My Mother Never...

My mother never made me feel like I could not come and tell her anything. At times she may have not been supportive of the decisions I made but she was always there for me when I would come back running for help when I didn't have anyone else to go to. She is a very strong woman. I have looked up to her since I was a child. I have been told that I have a lot of the same characteristics as her and all that isn't always a good thing. Why is that? Because when we argue both of us do not want to give in. We both feel that we have to prove our point and we wont stop until we do. This will lead to a silence treatment from both of us to each other. Not many would find this to be a healthy relationship but I understand her and thats what matters to me because I'm just like her and I understand myself. At the end of the day we can move on from what ever happened and be almost like sisters. Our relationship is that strong. No one could ever replace my mother, she is a unique woman. If you met her you would think the same. There is no one like her out there, for good reasons and bad reasons and I'm not afraid to put it out there like that because I am a chip off the old block. :)

  1. I love this! You and your mom sound like two really great women. It is really cool that you can just go to your mom about anything, obviously she is not going to support everything you say but it is always a good feeling to know that someone will always be there to just listen. I enjoy hearing about close relationships with parents because I think todays society shys away from family time and parent bonding, so this is really cool. Thanks for sharing :)

  2. That is such a beautiful relationship you and your mom have. I know that it is hard for children these days to feel that they can go to their parents for anything. Some are either too scared or their parents are so busy working that the children are raising themselves.

    I am a mother of two and hope that as my children get older, that they will feel comfortable coming to me for advice or just to talk. I know that the silent treatment is hard to go through when you are both upset about something. But knowing that you both understand one another and make up in the end is wonderful.

    Thanks for sharing your relationship with us.
