I posted this on another thread but I need to buck up and get a grip.
"Sigh...my mother has fallen out with me, as I told her politely with a smile that I was not asking her for advice, as she critised my nursing 2.11 year old and my parenting skills.
I feel like my heart is breaking but what can I do. I won't change my parenting ideals, no matter how much I (or the child in me) desire parental approval."
So what do you do when your own mother disapproves, belittles you ? How can I stop feeling so sad about this ? My mother whom I love dearly will never change.
I can not even bring myself to ring her up.
I pick up the phone to ring her and I just feel sadness descend on me and I can't make the call.
I need to sort this out on my own, I am only responsible for my own behaviour not my mothers. I have to be the grownup and I need to have a reasonable relationship with my mother, however dissappointed she is in me.
Her comments have never made me feel this way before. It is like she finally cut though all my defences to my heart.
I am waffling, sober and very sad. I am not expecting any responses, I just needed to rant a bit, sigh
