Post 759: Love you, Mom

I was having an amazing discussion with a very dear friend recently. The point I ended up making was: it doesn’t have to hurt. We were relaying the same situation where we were dealing with our mothers, and how our mothers were viewing the world in a different way than we do. And even though the specifics of the conversations were very different, the gist of the dialogs were the same. Different generations, and different people view the world differently.

My friend was wounded by their mother. I was not.

It’s ok when I disagree with my mother. It’s alright my mom thought I was wrong. She is trying to care for me. She is hoping to help me. Sometimes, people see things differently. We still love each other.

I don’t have to be hurt by my mother disapproving of me, or even judging me. Someone outside me being critical of me (even my mother) doesn’t have to hurt.
