[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 265250, member: 1514"] For years I would say that I wouldnt have missed my mother. I wanted desperately the mother that [I]should[/I] have been there for me and [I]should[/I] have protected me. I guess I really wanted that ideal mom. I didnt have her. In her later years I watched her die from a hideous disease and actually almost felt vindicated. That has made me feel a bit guilty. Now I catch myself looking at the girls and thinking at odd moments, boy I wish my mom was here to see them, she would have adored them. I really dont know if she would or not. Maybe. Or maybe not. Maybe she would have been thrilled to have little great granddaughters in her life or maybe her hatred for me would have stood in the way of being able to love them too. I cant say. I can only see things through a cloud of what I would have liked things to be like. Rosy glasses. I so wish it was a normal family. [/QUOTE]
