[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 41921, member: 3353"] Nomad has named the crux of the issue for us, I think. Telling ourselves it doesn't matter when it matters so very much does further damage to our spirits. And we have, every one of us here, been hurt enough. As Mother's Day approaches, we review and review where we might have gone wrong, how we might have done better or at least, differently. All around us are images of motherhood successfully fulfilled. When what we get are the kids who see us on the porch and drive past without so much as a nod, when what we get are no phone calls, no flowers, cynical sneers ~ oh yes, we should mark those things. And we need to learn how to bless ourselves through it. And as I said on another post this morning, I am not above taking my comfort where I find it. I must be a little out of sorts, this morning. Good. I like being angry, now that I am getting healthier. Barbara [/QUOTE]
