I'm not but i think others are cause they feel it shows emotional weakness on their behalf

Yup, that's the faulty assumption that's commonly made. :/

That's evil. I'm sorry your mother was ignorant enough of the effect her actions had on you to allow herself to traumatize you like that. Parents have such a huge potential to eff up their kids. But they're just people... :( People make mistakes. -.-

i dont think it was evil, but it was poor judgement thats for sure. and yes she is a human being and she made mistakes. just like i do. looking back all i can really do is feel more sad than angry. true, our experiences make us who we are. so now i almost never cry in public, and if i do i always feel ashamed. guess that's the "stronger" side of me...haha. what a joke at least i know what not to do with a kid who is sad or crying. thats the only good that came out of that i guess
