[QUOTE="Fran, post: 434087, member: 3"] 3Shadows, I was reading your post and thinking of my mom. Right up to the end, while bathing her was I wanting her smile of appreciation. Maybe we never get enough approval from our mothers. I know my mom respected me and depended on me but why the need for me to prove I am special? I tend to think it's me and not a vibe mom sent out. Gives too much power to others for my own well being. My mom was sick, she needed help. I have the ability to give that to her. I could have walked away and left it to a favored child but that's doesn't work for me. I accept that I'm not the star but I am worthy and valued my mom and siblings. It's ok with me. I don't cry crocodile tears because I have no regrets. I(we) did right by her. I will miss her being the touchstone for my siblings and I. I'm sorry that you harbor sad feelings but it is good that others showed you that you are loved. Why can't those feelings of love counterbalance the negative that seemed to come from mom? Hugs, I saw a beautiful, sensitive woman when I met you almost a year ago. I hope you see it too. [/QUOTE]
