Just had a special holiday dinner with family. There was so much food that my eyes got fat. Gifts were flowing like a river. Made me happy for us and sad for the millions who will go to bed hungry. Be grateful for what you have and how you got it. Give to others when you can and be kind to family. Forgive all, but don't forget- wrongs nor rights.
Happy 2013!!!!

Holidaze 2012
Is the world coming to an end on the 21st? Hope not. I still have fences to mend with my mom and only sister. We have made a good start at reconciliation on Thanksgiving. Recently we talked via Skype for my birthday. My mom recognized me. Yipee! Made me feel good as I am her first born and it was my 39+ birthday. (:-)
What next? I don't have a road map on how to fix what was broken - trust. Will I ever completely trust them gain? Maybe? My mom is in no mental state to be deceptive and to manipulate her family. Her passive-aggressive days are over. If she was in a better mental state, would mommy dearest be her old self? Or not? Probably! My sister was just a unwitting helper in this drama of cruel gossip.
Time to put away the hurt and bad feelings.
Happy holidays & new cheer to all.

Sons & mothers
Your mother maybe your "enemy," but your son should be a comfort. Not my case! My son is 3 years old going on 20. Where did I go wrong? Where did I go right? Because I am a SINGLE mom, I will be blamed by society of all my son's misdeeds. Not True. But single mom's get a bad rep - most of the time. Hold your kid too close and get called neurotic. Give him too much freedom and anything can happen. No win situation.
Just don't buy into the hype. Have confidence that you did all that you could do.

December 9, 2001
In 2001 my son's dad died from heart problems. He was waiting for a new heart but time ran out. We were divorced and our son was 9 yrs. old. It was a Sunday and the day before my birthday. I have forgiven his dad for his mistreatment of us which included adultery and giving away Bill's inheritance to wife #3.
So I guess that I can forgive my mom for her cruel rumors, anger expressed toward my son, etc. I don't completely understand it but I guess that I should be the better person and forgive.
'Tis the season to forgive, but not forget.

Thanksgiving Daze 2012
All is forgiven. My mom looked so happy to have her family around her. She smiled and made small talk. Her smile was shocking because her teeth were yellow and broken into jagged pieces. It was alarming. We talked for several minutes, but she did not recognize me. She asked if I knew "Deborah." There were photos all over the house of family members, but none of me. An over sight on the part of my sister - my mom's primary care giver? Maybe? Maybe not?
But the food was great and no one got drunk. The small kids had a great time with their cousins from Sweden. The teens were bored. OMG!
How can one stay angry at a dying woman?

Welcome to Our Blog - December 2012
If in fact the world does end later this month, we will have had our say about the state of mother-daughter relationships. Mothers have powerful influence on their children. They can help create healthy individuals or less than healthy persons. We will vent, testify, share, and swear to lay down our hurt, pain, disappointment, and anger at the one woman who should love us unconditionally --- our mothers.
