Pretty Me : ) asked:
My mother has a big impact in my life of course well the thing is I can’t talk to her about certain things such as school and relationships I just revieved my A.S Degree as a Legal Assistant and I want to go to Law School when I tell my mom this she just ignores me and just talks about her job and so on I am so happy about my accomplishments but sometimes I don’t feel enough because I don’t get the support from my mom, I have a 4-year old daughter and I had a really messed up relationship with the father and I can’t talk to her about that either because she will give me negative advice, I love my mother and all she is there finacially whatever I want she will get but the relationship is not there what should I do its hurts me? Thanks alot.

Wouldn’t it be great if the people who hurt us and we write about on here could read our feelings? This may seem a bit elementary, but does she KNOW how you feel? Why not sit down and put pen to paper and write her a heartfelt letter? Tell her that you feel somehow inadequate due to her disinterest, and that you want nothing more than for her to be proud of you, just as you hope your little girl grows up and makes you proud! Tell her that since becoming a mother yourself, you truly realize the sacrifices she made for you…..
It’s worth a try…good luck, sweetie!! Hang in there and by golly, I’m proud of YOU!!!
It’s ashame you can’t talk to her about those things in your life since both are very important and she is your mother. Even though she is your mother, no one should make you feel not good enough, because no one is perfect. I would try talking to her. I know it might be hard and it might not even work, but nothing should be left unsaid. Tell her what you feel. Ask her why she thinks the way she does..find out why she only can give negative advice. Maybe she feels the way she does because your choices are not the same choices she would have chosen for you in life, but that is just too bad for her. I am sure she wants to be able to talk to you about those things as well, so again, talk to her! Good Luck!
Concentrate on your schooling and your kids
