Or realizing it too late like I did.
Hug yer mom.
I was strern the last time she saw me. I was concerned. I knew alcohol had gotten her there. I didn't know how everything would go, but I tried to display confidence. I'm sure she understood.
But still. I wish I'd been able to make her last moments happier. It wasn't my responsibility, and I don't fault myself for it. But I know how scared she must have been, inside, and I wish I could've helped.
I’m inferring/projecting a lot, but, my mom was an alcoholic that committed suicide, I don’t know many people that relate to that, but it sounds like you might. Your comment really hits home. Just wanted to say, I relate. You’re not alone.
I've done something absurdly mean to my mom as a joke when I was a teenager and she probably cried about it afterwards (I basically mocked her for not having finished school). Took me years to realize how mean it was. But it's probably for the best that I didn't realize it, as my childhood trauma was about making her cry by mentioning my dead sister.
Friggen oof
Mom's a MAGA, fuck that dumb bitch.
Your family should mean more to you than politics.
I can't even tell my mom what's going on in my life because every time a conversation gets "too political," she shuts it down, or if she can't do that, she leaves.
I would love to keep her in the loop, but when almost every aspect of my life exists as it does because of political forces, that doesn't leave much I can say to her. If she loves me enough to want me in her life, she can suck up her political apathy and listen. But she won't, and you know what they say - you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
Politics is all about life and how people are allowed to live it though...
I agree, you know where is the only place I see political shit all over again? Lemmy and Reddit lol. (In non political communities ofc).
Oh, and US politics ofc.
When I was like 15 I sent my mom a text message complaining about her that was meant to go to my best friend. She never said anything and I think about it and feel sad every so often. I've never brought it up either though...
We have a good relationship, I was just being a little snotty teenager but I'm sure it hurt her feelings :(
Pro tip: talk to her about it. Tell her these feelings you're feeling
As someone who lost their mom unexpectedly last year, don't put this off. Even if it was long ago, casually bring it up and clear the air. After she's gone you'll never have a chance to get that resolved again.
Its true, but it also didn't come out of nothing
Ivan Cankar trenutek.
I did this about 5 years ago. It was like all of my stupid childhood frustrations came out. But it was too much. I made my mam cry. But in the end I think this was for the best. Neither of us have clashed since that day. It's like we both found an understanding from each other and know that in those heated moments we never meant what we said. We're the closest we've ever been nowadays. But thinking about the moments afterwards, consoling my mam to ensure her that she wasn't in fact an awful mother, still makes me feel really bad inside. Even though it made way to a better relationship after it was all done.
My mom hit me in the face last time I was mean to her.
