My special place

I think that is ok @creative_writer Sometimes it is hard to find where we do belong. We can spend so much of our life just trying to fit in. And for what? To pretend we are something different so people accept us.

If someone doesn't accept me for who I am, then they are not worth being around. That goes for family too. You as a person, you as who you are is worth so much more.

Surround yourself with people that lift you up, not tear you down.

That must have been really hard on you growing up @creative_writer, especially if your mum wasn't getting the help she needed. Sometimes our parents can omit to much onto us. I find my mum does a lot, even to this day. Sometimes I think I am the outlet for her.

I can understand that @creative_writer

There are time times when I feel that way too. That history is just repeating itself. I vowed not to be like my mum.

Thanks @creative_writer for the lovely words. I am nothing like my mother. People would always say that I am my fathers daughter. I take after him in every way.

I think having children and raising them, we always try to do some things differently than what our parents did, or in my case what my mother did.

I'm not sure about you, but I do think that because I am the female, looking after my mother has fallen to me.

I am the only daughter @creative_writer My father died 9 years ago so mum only has me. Well I do have an older brother but he is useless. I think the last time I spoke to him was over 2 years ago.
