My Mom has been married three times. I have watched her my entire life put up with inmature men. They were all great people and raised me as thier own. My Mom is in so much pain and I do not how to make her feel good. She cries and tells me how hurt she is. My Mom is my lifeline! She means more to me than anything else in my life. How can I help her!? What can a daughter do to make their mother feel happier! She is having problems with bills due to her husband going on his hunting trips and her starting her own bussiness. I am only 23 so my financial situation is not ant better. I just wish I knew how to make her smile again and love her life!

Sweet child....you so make my heart smile! I'm sure your mother already feels the love that I read in each word that you typed. Like others have said, you can't fix your mother's problems, but, you can add some joy to her life. Spend some mother daughter time with her. Cook dinner together, or better yet, cook dinner for her. I'll tell you one thing that my daughters and I do sometimes that always puts a smile on my face. Get out some photo albums. Go through them together. You will find yourself saying.....Remember when we did this....or....Gosh how old was I here?. Before you know it, she will be smiling and laughing! I promise you!
More than anything though, just put your arms around her and tell her that you love her. There is not a mother in the world that does not love to her that from her child!
Good luck to you and your mother!

You want to make her smile? When this question runs it's course, print it out. Leave it where she will find it.
If there is one thing that makes a mother feel like flying, it is her children telling them and showing them how much they love them.
Sadly, there isn't anything you can really do for her pain. She will have to overcome that herself, but you said she is in a financial rut and started her own business. Volunteer your time to either help her with that or with mundane things we all hate doing..like clean and rearrange her house in a way she will love, or instead of her either eating by herself or going out, set up a set day each week to take turns making each other a meal.
I hope this helped you some.
Good Luck!

I think Mom may suffer from depression and low self-esteem. She needs to see a counselor or therapist. However it depends on your mothers attitude and your relationship on wether you can suggest this or not. It is commendable how much you care about your mom but you need to realise that she is an adult and has to own her own problems. I would have a heart to heart with mom and suggest some counselling therapy. Apart from just supporting your Mom and letting her know you love her and care thats about all you can do. Good luck

Go out and do things togeter that make her want to smile...things she use to do whe she was young...skating, bowling, dancing, fishing...anything! If you can make her smile, even for a little bit she will feel better. The pain won't go away soon, but one day she will learn on her own to be happy without the man. You are probably her rock too......just be there for her

Your mother is responsible for her own happiness and being with immature men is not going to help her. She needs to know that she can support herself and not expect others to pay her way in this world. Crying is not going to solve anything, she needs to stand on her 2 feet and don't allow immature losers in her life.

I would pray for her and do things that shes enjoy doing, you don't have to help her financially for her to know you love her and want to see her happy again, you sound like an awesome daughter,. Good luck

Your mother is the only person who can truly make herself happy. The best thing you can do is just love her, encourage her, and pray for her. That will go farther than you'd think.

i feel for you! my mother divorced my step dad and made me pack up my bags and we lived everywhere! we moved from one guys house to the next! and she used to cry and cry when they'd go to work and tell me how sorry she was that our lives where so unstable! i went to so many different schools!! but all i could do was hug her in her time of need, and take her away for a little bit! you could take her to a movie, or to dinner!
that's all a daughter can do, just be their for your mother!!
