Too bad my own mom had to spoil the morning today by saying that the reason for when Ebbe ungortunately on hos walk to the car tripped, fell over and scratched his knee was my fault because he has to move houses every week. And that I should be the one moving around, not Ebbe. To then top it off with telling me "It's you making a mess of everything. Don't you get that!?"
Great way to start the morning. Esprcially on the one day every two weeks that sucks the most - saying goodbye to Ebbe for another week when he goes to live with his dad.
Thought her stupidity and need to spread blame around her would have seized to affect me by now. But nope, still upsets my heart and turns my stomach. Not that she has anger towards me, that I can live with. But the very slim thought of "what if she's right?" makes me want to press ctrl alt delete on my own life. Which mom can live with the image of not providing the very best they can for their child at all times? I sure can't.
Ew. Just a bit too strong for early in the day I'd say.
Coffee with that anyone..?
Sour. /Å
Oh, Asa!! Our mothers can do some damage, can't they? I don't even really know you, but I do know that you are a loving mother to Ebbe. Just look at the way he *glows* when he's with you! Would it be better for Ebbe if you were in a relationship with his dad that is unhealthy? If you fought all the time? Or worse, ignored each other? YOU. ARE. A. GREAT. MOM. I'm so sorry you had that experience this morning. Not a good way to start. But keep your head up. Big hugs to you from the USA. <3
SvaraRaderaSarah! Thank you so much for your love and support - means the world to me. <3
RaderaOh, Asa, I'm so sorry you had to go through that this morning. Our mothers can cause some damage, can't they? But don't you listen to it, even though it comes from someone close to you. YOU. ARE. A. GREAT. MOTHER. And Ebbe is obviously well-adjusted with your arrangements with his father. Just look at his sweet face! He *glows* in every photograph. If he were suffering, you'd see it in his eyes. Little boys fall down and scrape their knees. They get bruises. It's just part of being a boy. Is it better for you (and Ebbe) to be in a relationship with his father where you fight, or worse, ignore each other? No, it's better for him to have 2 parents who love him unconditionally. Keep your head up, you wonderful woman. You are doing a great job!! Much love to you from the USA. ~ Sarah
SvaraRaderaAldrig aldrig ALDRIG någonsin att jag hade låtit dig "ctrl-alt-delete" så mkt som en mm av dig. ALLT du är & gör är fantastiskt! Punkt.
SvaraRaderaNä bara vissa dagar.. Tack finaste. Älskar dig!
RaderaAww Asa! I can relate somewhat to how a mother's words can just cut through our hearts like a knife. It is just in a child's nature to want to have affirmation and a blessing from our parents, and for a woman, especially her mother. My mom is a wonderful, Godly woman, who I know loves me more than life. But sometimes, she can say things that she means for good that just hurt me to the core of my being, and I am 51 years old! As a parent, we can only do our best. We all make mistakes, we all may make decisions that affect our children's lives that are not perfect, and we all have to live and do the best we can with the choices we are sometimes forced to make. There is no doubt in my mind that you are doing your very best to make Ebbe's life the best that you can! In life, nothing is perfect. Even children who live in the same home every day are affected by life! Mistakes are made by parents, and words are said that shouldn't be. We are imperfect people raising imperfect children. However, with that said, I have no doubt that Ebbe is a well adjusted little boy who knows that he is loved to the moon and back! And I am sure your mom loves you equally. Again, it is usually the people who love us the most, that tend to say things that hurt us the most! Keep your chin up, and keep loving your little boy! God bless you Asa!!
SvaraRaderaThank you so so much Mandy. It was good to hear your words as I know no story is merely black and white. As you say we all do our best but sometimes say thing that hurt more than maybe intended. I hope. She is my mom and I will always love her. <3 Thanx for your love and support.
