Her Loss

How strange is family
My mum is so mean
Why does she do it
She just hasn't seen

In her eyes i've let her down
I don't have my own home
My job she doesn't like
Oh she does so moan

"You're not like your brothers and sisters"
She said bitterly to me
"Why aren't you settled"
It's hard for her to see

"I am what i am" i say
"No harm have i done"
Happiness before now has eluded me
Except, my daughter and my son

I shall look to the future
I am very happy at this time
My mum i'll leave behind
Remember my life is mine!!!!

So, forward i will go
With a guy so caring
It's her loss not mine
For the love i'll be sharing

On a word of cheer
On this lovely warm day
My Friend Finder mug
Did find its way.....

Trying to please everyone eventually means shortchanging yourself. Live your life the way you want it--other people's expectations are just that--expectations. You're not obligated to fulfill them.

I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Well, I spent many years having a tormented relationship with my mother, who put all Jewish mothers to shame with her emotional blackmail monologue. This went on for years till a girlfriend, who is also a mother, gave me a piece of really sound advice.

She said, "You did not choose to be born. Your parents chose to put you into this world and you had no say in it. Therefore, you do not owe them anything."

After that things became very clear and I chose my own path regardless of what anyone had to say about it and I stopped feeling guilty. The only person you owe is yourself and the only debt you owe is joy. Be happy, chickie.

In the immortal words from 6th Sense ... I see stupid people.

oh well, mothers! Mine is a bit like yours. You can be sure behind all that talk she does love you anyway. She just wants to educate you further - here I have to laugh, thinking on my own discussions with my mom.

Fantastic that you are so decided and happy?

The title said it all, she should be happy for you if you are happy. She will come around, parents always love us, they just want to push us to be the best we can be!

Nice mug! Yes, I know how you feel. Had a strained relationship with my mom for years. Fortunately things have improved. I hope she comes to her senses and realizes what a great daughter you are!

If you can't convince them, confuse them!

My deceased mother used to be
like that, but I guess
my mom is just too concerned
about me when I got separated
and wanted me to be with someone
so I will not be alone in my older age.

Thanks for sharing...I guess we have in common.
btw, Thanks for the visit.

but for you my friend

but deep in your heart will tell
you mean us very well.
