Mother's day

Posted by deirdrehbrt on May 8, 2004, at 20:30:02

This marks the first mother's day since I learned and realized about things that happened during my childnood. I find myself suddenly in a perplexing position. How do I acknowlege the day without either causing strife in my family, hurting my mother or being dishonest.
In truth, I know that my parents did nothing out of malice, but due to ignorance, bad parenting skills, and trusting others that were anything but trustworthy all of their kids were hurt.
I want to love them, I want to have a mommy and daddy, but I can't do it and still feel good about myself. I suppose that on one level we still love them, but on another we have to keep our distance.
I suppose that we'll find some middle ground somewhere.
Dee.
