well i am off to spend some time with my mother tonite. There is a part of me that doesnt want to, but i also don't want to lose her. even though she put me through hell as a child, she has helped me out enough when i became a parent. I'm not sure she realizes that she still has alot of unhealthy behaviors, but i will not tolerate her putiing me or my children down. I need to break away from her controlling,manipulating and abusive behaviors... but deep down inside she is still my mother and i should just focus on thr good instead of the bad. Besides, i have been working with my therapist in order to let out the pain and forgive, so i do have faith that eventually i can have a healthy relationship with her. for now i will just pretend!! and if anything goes wrong, then i know i will have to take some time away from her until i am stronger.God grant me the serenityto accept the things i cannot changethe courage to change the things i canand the wisdom to know the difference
