Re: Good day to all of you

Why do parents always think of their children as still children even when they

have grown up into adulthood?

-May,   I think it is called love and caring.   I am 55 years old and

my 82 year old mother will still look after me.  She will say are your sure it

is a good idea to drive to Dallas alone?   Are you taking vitamins?   This

is not because she doesn't think I can do things for myself, but because she

cares about me.    That's motherl;y love.

Subject: Good day to all of you

 

Hey dudes

I just wanted to say hi to all of you and thanks for all the support you've been

giving me. Today I have been to see my councillor at University. He went over

some things with me. We do CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy). It really works.

It's centred all around me and my choices. Its always my choice to feel the way

I feel.

Regarding my mother I have had a habit of responding to her a certain way. I

know she only wants the best for me. Sometimes the way she says things to me, I

may take the wrong way or personally. I'm going to try a new technique to break

the habit by trying to understand how she is coming across to me first, then

that way I don't get upset.

I just need to know and understand how my mum feels regarding me and I'm still

unsure of how to go about this. In the letter that I will be writing after we

come back from London I will be letting her know how I feel. Also by letting her

know that I forgive her for everything.

Why do parents always think of their children as still children even when they

have grown up into adulthood. Please can someone explain that to me so I can get

a good understanding of this. Please may I ask all the parents on here how they

would feel if their children wanted to go their own way. This can help me to

understand how my mum feels so then I can approach it the best way possible.

You all help me so much on here. And I know that I have helped some parents on

here too. If you could help me to see it from a parents point of view it sure

would help me to understand how my mother would feel. This is a benefit that

would help me.

Thank you so much for your support.
