reader comments
- “I'd love to hear from those of you who are taking my Mother Load course to see if it has helped with some of the heartbreak of having a mother who is mentally ill, alcoholic, or simply "not present." This does in fact leave a big hole that only a solid relationship with the GReat Mother can fill. I know that each of us can cultivate this-- and perhaps it's what some of us took birth for! Thanks for sharing yourselves here!” — Christiane Northrup - 3 days, 15 hours ago from blogs
- “My mother abandoned me at the age of 4. She is 81 now & we have gotten closer but she is very selfish & jealous. When my stepfather does things for us she makes comments like: he never buys gas for MY car, he doesn’t give ME money for MY birthday & thinks his kids only call him because they want something from him. I’m having trouble dealing with knowing I will have to take care of her if my stepfather dies first. I envy those who have had a loving relationship with their mothers.” — Lynda - 4 days, 1 hour ago from blogs
- “Meg, I can certainly relate to you. I too am envious of those who had a relationship with ANY healthy older woman. My Mother has had depression and other mental issues all her life. I have known nothing but anger, guilt, fear, and even hopelessness with my Mom. She is now ill with serious health issues, which is painful and bittersweet. I never had a "mother" figure in my life, ever. To all the daughters and mothers that "have a life"... God Bless You all.” — Dawn - 1 week, 1 day ago from blogs
- “My Mom has had clinical depression since I was about 8 years old and it went untreated for years. She was switched off for the most part of my growing up years and has been so consumed by her own problems that she missed out on getting to know my brother and I. Our relationship is scarred and I envy everyone whose Mom is a healthy and vibrant woman they can look up to. I look forward to the "healing the mother load" series and becoming free of the feelings of guilt and desperation. ” — Meg - 1 week, 4 days ago from blogs
