@ShePersisted Hugs to you. sometimes people fight. it happens. We make mistakes and say things we don't mean. But it doesn't have to be the way things are forever. And you can totally write a new story with your daughter.
@ShePersisted I'm so sorry. History will NOT repeat itself with your daughter. I hope you and your mother can speak soon, but you're not wrong for laying it all out there for her.
@ShePersisted even though history can sometimes repeat itself, it also happens often that people learn what not to do from their relationships with their parents. So don't worry about that at all. Like others said, fights happen. Give it some time and hopefully it will get better.
@ShePersisted when my mom stresses me out via text I find that I need to not text her back for a bit. She and I are very similar in that we're both hot tempered and can say things we don't mean in the heat of the moment, and then instantly regret them. I've definitely had moments like this with her and always felt horrible after, I really recommend the wait to text approach. I've saved many moments of regret this way.
@ShePersisted hugs! Relationships with Moms (and parents in general are hard). I tend to ignore my Mom's txt when they make me.angry, but these days i find it harder to control my responses (hung up on my Dad a few weeks ago). I am sorry you're dealing with this.
@ShePersisted I'm sorry. I haven't really spoken to my mom in over 10 years. She is just too toxic to have in my life. My older sister still has a relationship with her (probably due to the fact that they live close to one another) and just tries to use boundaries to avoid the drama but it's not always effective. Seeing the crap my sis deals with is an unfortunate reminder to me that I made the right decision to cut her out of my life. I am so nervous for the time when my DD realizes that I have cut my mom out and I have to explain to her why. What if she wants to do that to me someday? Ahh.my heart hurts just thinking about it. The one thing that gives me hope is that my sister's girls are teens and she has a wonderful relationship with both of them. Mom issues are so hard.
@NYTino24 i still feel like a head of cauliflower is not bigger than a cantelope? Maybe i should go grocery shopping as it seems i am unrealstic about how large a cantelope is... @ShePersisted sending hugs your way
@amber0529 I also really like James Patterson! @cwalker042 I had to stop reading the Alex cross series too because I couldn't keep up with it @bcashaw I'm right there with you, I feel like the the size comparisons they give each week go back and forth. I look at it as something interesting to think about at this point but don't think it's always the most accurate. I held a cantaloupe up to my belly yesterday and it was kind of terrifying to put into perspective
Ladies - thank you so much for your kind words. I agree with you all. I just needed to vent and hearing I'm not crazy to yell at my mom makes me feel better. I agree texting back when angry was a horrible mistake even though I don't think it was my fault. Deep breaths! I might just send her a sorry email tomorrow. I know it's not my fault but hey if I ever did that to my child I'd want them to come back to me so with that thought I'll bite my ego. It is indeed true our children do make us better sons and daughters to our parents. Lord give me patience!! :-)
