A letter to my mom

This is my first attempt at "poetry." I had the end pop into my mind and didn't want to forget it. I sat down to type it and the rest came.

WOW! Thanks for sharing this. This poem is so honest--the anger and hurt are just so raw. That's all I can say--it's very honest. Great job!

I may not know you or anything about your specific situation but what I do know is that what you wrote really touched me. I could feel what you were writing, the loss of innocence, the desire to please a parent and the sadness a little girl felt by never being good enough. I'm sorry to say that I know that feeling but at least now we are doing something to better ourselves. Just know that reading that made me realize I was not alone and that's a really good feeling!

Thank-you for sharing. My mom left before I was 2. Left me to my father. She still cannot admit either she has never been a mother and she too still expects I act like a daughter. I guess i realize now some women should never have been mothers. Good luck to you in your healing and once again thanks for sharing.
