At the same time, I appreciated the fact that she was at least honest in talking about her true feelings. Even though she may not like her daughter, I do think, and as the other commentators have said, that she loves her child and I think that's most important. It's tough. My mom once told me that in our children we often dislike the things in them that we see dislike in ourselves. I didn't get it at the time, but now, I think I do.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580525191212992829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604448308988564470.post-75172709057991170532011-06-20T13:44:46.887-04:002011-06-20T13:44:46.887-04:00I felt sorry for the mom.

She was brutally honest about her feelings, but obviously there was love for her daughter...she tried to do things to be closer to her.<br />No one knows how it feels to live with a particular child until they have lived with THAT child. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517747321455561159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604448308988564470.post-59246784345982650342011-06-17T01:29:18.097-04:002011-06-17T01:29:18.097-04:00The article just made me sad.

So thankful that in spite of my disability, my mother pushed through and loved me for who I was.<br /><br />(By the way - congrats to your kiddo on the great baseball games!)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112453369738198010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604448308988564470.post-18673032422721174582011-06-16T09:47:13.802-04:002011-06-16T09:47:13.802-04:00I didn't read the whole article but what I did...I didn't read the whole article but what I did read left me very sad. I think a lot of us have moments when we just don't like our child very much ... and yet we continue to LOVE the child. I hope that the fact that she has stood (thus far) by her commitment to parent this child means that she does in fact love her. If she doesn't ... the better part of the child's problems may well be in reaction to the mom.Beth Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047047792782914757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604448308988564470.post-33614191216867713102011-06-15T11:34:05.960-04:002011-06-15T11:34:05.960-04:00That article has left me with such a mix of emotio...That article has left me with such a mix of emotions...thank you for sharing, it definitely brings some light to moments in our house when expectations are set too high.ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214292446373308176noreply@blogger.com
