    Don't worry about her (my mother), she has problems of her own that have nothing to do with you. Her projections of her problems onto you is not your responsibility. It is hers. God loves you. Remember that and you will be fine.

    Thank you. I not only survived but I learned to thrive in spite of having a non-supportive mother.

    Remember who you are, and be who you want to be for yourself-think for yourself, not what others want for you.

    I started changing who I was during this time to please others and found out how easy it was. It started me on a path of never really knowing who I was, until now. It wasn't easy. I never really though of myself as well . . . myself. I always thought about what others thought I should be.

    those are exactly the words I would like to tell my 13 year old self! When I was growing up girls basically made one of 2 choices after high school -- go to college or get married and have babies, I chose the latter because I thought I could never afford college and would not succeed, Worst mistake of my life, The only good thing from that came out of that was the 3 children I gave birth to,

    I always thought everyone else knew best. But now I think, if they didn't even really know me, how could they know what was best for me. I guess it was just too easy to change into what ever they thought. Well, I guess it's good I know now, and I am glad I am who I am now. :) You should be to, or at least working towards that.
