did your mother leave?

[abikay]

Hi, I am undertaking research on the subject of mothers who leave. I am actually going to concentrate on the adult daughters story. I need a few participants who experienced their mothers leaving as children and who are prepared to share their story with me. It will consist of a taped in depth interview lasting around 40 mins, of course it is all verified by my university and you have gauranteed assurance of complete anonymity, if anyone can help I would be most gratefull, Many thanks (scummymummy please could you get back in contact as your story sounds perfect for my research!)

I think, abi, that if you haven't had any offers yet, you're highly unlikely to get any as I've seen a few threads asking about this.

Sorry... good luck with the dissertation

thats ok, Actually I have had a few offers on here (through people sending me private messages)but just need a few more, thanks for your advice anyway!I cant imagine my message would offend anyone,if so I really dont mind being told as much, Im just a mother like you not a professional or media person and just asking for some help

My mother left when I was a teenager - would that be too old?

hi missisboot, it depends whether you mean nearer 13 or nearer 18? could you let me know, if you dont want to tell me any details on this board just message me at [email protected] or send me a cat. Many thanks

mine and dp's mothers both left when we were teens

wew were both 15

nearer 18

Hi Ria, would you be willing to chat more? If so my email is in my last message, feel free to get in touch and ill respond straight away, Thanks

thanks Missisboot, to be honest the way I see it is a mother leaving is basically the same whatever age, but my dissertation is focussed on those slightly younger when their mothers left. This angle is the basis of the work ive done so far and it would be hard to change it now, thanks so much anyway

My mum left when my sister was 13. I was 17 and had already left home so didn't effect me but I can contact my sister for you if you like?

that would be great! please could you do this and let me know as soon as possible? My email is [email protected] Thanks and take care, Abi

I've emailed her an included your email address.

thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help

She's just replied abikay she's going to email you. She said she understands how hard it is, she had to find 60 participants for her dissertation.

thanks so much devil, i have just seen her email and am about to reply (60!!!!) I think I amy have enough people now, so thank you!!!
