A compliment made me cry.
This evening my son's girlfriend sent me an sms, complimenting me for being such a nice person, and raising my children to be such wonderful people. She also thanked me for making this world a better place. I just started crying!
I still cry when I think about her message, and I feel depressed. I don't understand why. She is an honest person, who means what she says. Her words were such an unexpected treasure to me! I am not used to receiving compliments, and I don't know how to deal with them. I know scolding, being blamed, and being told how useless and unacceptable I am, very well. Those I can handle quite well. But compliments knock me up-side-down!
Maybe I am just weird.

I want to adopt your son\'s g/f. You really need to embrace her compliments because you are all those wonderful things she said. You care about me, you support me and you are NOT useless by any means. Huggs and love xoxo
I AGREE WITH SWEETSHERRI SHE IS RIGHT AND SAYS IT ALL.
NO... YOU ARE NOT WEIRD.I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL. I HAVE BEEN THERE. BECAUSE I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS GOOD ENOUGH AND NOT USED TO GOOD THINGS ABOUT ME OR HELPING AND CARE FOR OTHERS. COME TO FIND OUT I WAS HURT FOR SO MANY YEARS AGO UNTIL GOD HEALED MY WOUND FRO MY CHILDHOOD AND TEENAGER. THE TRUTH SET ME FREE AS OF TODAY SINCE THE YEAR 2004. I AM NOW ACCEPTED WHO I AM THAT GOD CREATED ME THE WAY HE WANTS TO BE . NOW I LOVE MYSELF AND LOVE PEOPLE. IT IS FOR ME THAT I HAVE TROUBLE HEART FOR YEARS NOT KNOWING WHY OR WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.OR NOT GOOD ENOUGH? YOUR ISSUES MIGHT BE DIFFERENT THEN MINE.

Thank you so much for your understanding replies!
