      Jennifer:
      U r fortunate in a way that there is a mother figure in your life all this while. Mine? No recollection of how she looked like until I was in my teens. By then, she was a total stranger. I did not even attend her funeral. I hv only 1 piece of vivid memory of her- canning me.

      It's now in the past.
      :hugs: Mummy Jennifer

        My take - best to let go, be at peace with yourself and move on. They can never change and we should stop hoping. You have your MIL so you are really fortunate. For me, I am just doing my duty to keep my conscience clear and set a positive example for my DS.

        This is true.. those who don't try to change won't change and don't plan
        to change. Crystal clear conscience it is... :snuggles: autumnbronze wif
        own mom OR with husband's mom... regardless... šŸ˜‰

              :snuggles: Buds :snuggles: Duriz :snuggles: Autumnbronze :snuggles: Jennifer


              Thank you for hearing me out.

              I take this funny \"relationship with mum\" as a learning for me. I thank GOD for making me such a strong person with the bitter experience I had.

              After all these years, I have no choice being weary of my mum's action. Everything that she asked for, I will think thrice. Refuse to be \"used\" by her.

              Like what autumnbronze mentioned, I will do whatever I can for her just to keep my conscience clear.

                  But you know what counts?
                  You're a great momma.
                  That's all that matters.
                  You count, you matter and you're strong šŸ˜„

                        Count Your Blessings!


                        A well-known speaker started off his seminar by
                        holding up a $50 bill.

                        In the room of 200, he asked, \"Who would like this $50 bill?\"
                        Hands started going up.
                        He said, \"I am going to give this $50 to one of you,
                        but first, let me do this.\"

                        He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
                        He then asked,\"Who still wants it?\"
                        Still the hands were up in the air.

                        \"Well,\" he continued, \"what if I do this?\"
                        And he dropped it on the ground and
                        started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

                        He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
                        \"Now who still wants this $50?\"
                        Still the hands went into the air.

                        \"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.
                        No matter what I did to the money,
                        you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.
                        It was still worth $50.

                        \"Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled,
                        and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and
                        the circumstances that come our way.
                        We feel as though we are worthless.
                        But no matter what has happened or what will happen,
                        you will neverlose your value: dirty or clean,
                        crumpled or finely creased,
                        you are still priceless to those who love you.\"

                        The worth of our lives comes not in
                        what we do or who we know,
                        but by WHO WE ARE.

                        You are special - Don't ever forget it.
                        Count Your Blessings, not your problems.
