My mother is the greatest mother. She came from a rough childhood. She was molested (I just found this out this year and I am 24) by her alcoholic father. My father had an affair with her and it totally wrecked her. I was the only child home at the time and I had to hear about all of the stuff. She would always be mad at me when I talked to my dad. I do not approve of what my father did to my mother one bit, but he is my father and he's done a lot for me also. Now we are dealing with my gambling addict brother who has pretty much ruined everyone's credit (Robbing my checking account, my mothers checking account, having my father cosign for a credit card, and using my brothers credit to purchase house and contract-for-deed them back to the original owner and now the owners arent paying up what they owe) This has taken a toll on me as well as I'm sick of all the issues at hand. I love her very much and she recently went on anti-depressant pills. I want to give her the world how can I?

being a mother myself I would say do little things for her when you can dig out old photos and re minis tell her you love her ALOT!!! Mom is going to be sad because of the hell he rson has/is putting her through and when one of your children doesnt turn out how you pictured them to be morally it hurts just support her and try to help brother too!!!!!!

Just be who you are as you have shown on here. The fact that you are even asking this question shows how proud of her you are. The fact that you are even asking for other ways to show her love, shows how proud of her you are. I commend you on that. Most children wont look into their hearts to understand their mom's if they act a certain way due to some traumatic even that happened to them in the past. So again, I applaud you.
Tell her you are proud of her each and every day you leave the house to go to work or school, tell her you love her. It's the little things that matter and if you take a moment of your life to hug her, or to tell her those words, that will mean the world to her.
She is very lucky to have a daughter like you and I am so sure she is proud of you too. You can also bring her some flowers, for absolutely no reason. Don't wait for a birthday or holiday. Flowers have a way of shedding a little joy around the house. Write her a letter or a card, telling her how proud you are of her, and tell her to keep it with her always, so when she is feeling down, she can pull it out and read it for reassurance. But above all, just be you, she is very luck for you.

Just do some little kind actions..like asking her if there's something she wants when ur going out,say goodmorning with a kiss on the forehead,help her out around the house,talk about her in front of people,even if she's not there ,she'll know somehow,or at least feel it...
Good Luck

Tell her how much she means to you. Write her a poem. Make her a gift. Take her to a nice lunch or day at the spa (if you have extra money). Make her feel like everyday is mother's day. She needs to feel loved and it sounds like you are the best person to do that. Good luck to you both!

I am sure she would appreciate any gesture. Do something special for her, and when she asks why, tell her you wanted to let her know how proud you are of her and then explain why. Sounds like she could really use the encouragement right now. Good luck!!!

Spend some time with her. Talk about anything. The news, clothes, computers. Make her feel like everything she says is sacred to you. When you leave, tell her you love her. And tell her you are proud of her. :)

Just tell her you love her and very proud of her and you will be there when she needs you to be, just give her your love and support and a shoulder to lean on when need; that's all.
TRUST ME!!!

have you tried a hug? sometimes a hug means more that all you could give. if she is depressed that would let her know you cared, especially if hugging mom isn't the norm for you.
