Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Today I'm assaulted from all directions of visions of the idealized mother. It's on the main page of almost every website I go too. It's all over the television. That JCPenny's ad with the mother who smiles while letting her daughter's hand go so she can join her friends and grow up especially twists the knife for me. And I wonder....what percentage of people really do have healthy relationships with their mothers? I always feel so alone at this time and it so wonderful for there to be lists like this to come too to know I am not. Yet I wonder, do most people have what is depicted on tv and the sweet poetic cards? Is it a level of motherly perfection that is largely created by the greeting card companies? I like to get up in my head and analyze things, that way it doesn't hurt so much somehow. Today I'm calling her and I'll play nice like I've been trained to my whole life. But deep down this is a sad day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
