My mother's confession...

in TTC After a Loss

I finally spilled the beans yesterday to her on all we've been going through.  We're not very close so I hesitated in telling her we were having trouble getting pg. 

I was shocked when she told me that her and my stepfather tried for 3 years to get pg when she was 36.  I was in tears!  My parents later adopted my irresponsible cousin's baby in that last year of trying.  It sort of just happened.  I was just in awe at the way things work out.  I felt so bad for my mom.  I realized how much private pain she keeps to herself.

    I am really proud of you (that sounds weird doesn't it?) for opening up to your mom. Maybe this is a beginning for you both of you - to not bottle things up inside. I hope this really helps you process and heal. BIG HUGS!!

    Oh really? That's awesome! I was typing that, and I was like, "I'm explaining all this for one little detail..." I'm glad that you like it! I like it, because I feel like I'm getting something out of my time reading the Bible, just about every time. It's not just me trying to read a chapter a day to get it done, ya know? Anyway, I hope you have a great Friday! I'm going to go back to bed for a morning nap. :)

    That's awesome! It is always so shocking what pain people keep inside. I hope this brings you closer and that your relationship will grow because of it. Maybe your Mom can become an important part of your support system??

    It's amazing how much mothers shield their children from.  When I broke down to my mom, she told me that it took 9 months to conceive me, and about 2 years for my brother.  I never had any idea.

    I am so glad you both shared and I hope it has bought you a little bit closer in doing so.

    :::hugs for your Mum:::?
