So many mothers have too high expectations on other people. Let's throw all these poor old Mums including mine on a desert island somewhere.
Let's include lots of our friends Mother's who are here at Sane.
Iv had many years of therapy to recover from my Mum. I entered therapy because I didn't want to be like my Mum to my two sons.
Also had a major head injury. Because I look okay, talk okay it's hard to see the inside of me. Perhaps like you.
You gave me the biggest compliment ever calling me like your Grandma. Thankyou. My silly husband thinks he is s still 21 which I find pretty funny.
I love being my age ---- I love that I don't intrude in my two sons lives.
My object in my life is to have my Mum in my life and I'm extremely vulnerable, I went and did a certain trauma therapy that is a good for me. It's very confrontational though because it works with the unconcious.
My therapist and I choose to disagree with having mum in my life but when I see her ---- it's not often I see her as a sad pathetic old lady. When she shows off she knows my sons better than me and she dreams she brought them up I go annoyed when it's happening then when I walk away I leave it behind. It's very very liberating.
It's taken many many years to be like this. I'm not jealous that today you can have 7 weeks of therapy, have this trauma counselling and walk away. I'm not jealous of the thousands of dollars iv spent.
I don't care anymore.
When I think of you and many other reasonably newish members I feel thrilled that our older people's stories have made it like it is.
