Would you...?

Question

Help someone in their time of need,someone who your whole life degraded you,made you feel inferior and never once helped you in any situation?

no matter what I dont think I can turn my back on her,she is my mother

Answer 1

Yes, not for my self gratification but to make them lay awake at night wondering why.

Add. I didn't see the additionals till now. If she is your mum I can only start to wonder what you are going through after what I have experienced in the past 24 hrs. My birth mother had me at 14 & 9 months of age, she was ousted from a strict catholic family to live in the streets if she did not abort, yet she held the strength to carry on, and to her I am eternally indebted down to the fact of taking a bullet for her.
On the other hand my adoptive mother lied about her being dead cause she did;nt want her to see me. She only got my number through an old friend my other parents could'nt intercept.
Even after this cruelty and damage to my heart I would still be there in a flash to help either of my adoptive parents despite their cruel lies.
If my heart was to turn as cold as that then I would feel like all hope was lost and that the end of my sanity was again dangling in front of me and that is something I will NEVER allow to happen again.

Sorry bout the long answer but this Q was important to me right now.
Thanks.

Answer 2

Ouch...um...yes. And I have done that before actually. He was the high school bully, and a big thorn in my side for years. I cringed when he worked at the same place where I did during my first job. It took finally kicking his his butt to put him place...and after that we became friends...go figure. Anyhoo...one day I his car was in the shop, so I dropped him off at his house. And for years I never understood why he was the way he was...until that night I dropped him off. He was living in the garage of the family house. I felt sorry for him, and I started to help him out here and there. I don;t know what ever happened to him though. Hmm. True Story.

Answer 3

I Would Have To Say No Because They Would Have Been Out Of My Life A Long Time Ago

Answer 4

actually I would... and I've learned that the hard way... I had a high-school teacher of physics, he was so soft so I used to make fun of him a lot... he got easily pissed off and I really enjoyed the view. but one day, I've decided to give an exam in physics in order to enter an elite school. I needed a book desperately, nobody had it, but that teacher gave it to me. So, I was the one helped, though I was making fun of him for two years. I think he managed not only to show me what a great person he was, but he also made me a better one...

Answer 5

no, because if that someone never suffer then , that person won't never learn, and well, why do i have to help that person? that person have to feel the consequences for be a bad person, don't you think so?, now if that person is your mother, well... is different, because she gave you your life, and that's something you can't change, but you have to talk her, reach to some kind of agreement, where you will help her, and she will turn in a more nice person

Answer 6

To be honest no I wouldn't help her. My mother is a drug addict and was a terrible mother. She has hit rock bottom and while my sister is like you and can't turn away from her I have moved on with my life.
It sounds mean but she is manipulative and I am a better off distancing myself.

Answer 7

i dont believe you should do something that you really dont want to do, or u know will leave u bitter or upset... but i do believe its a good thing to help people regardless of how they treated you in the past. so, if you think your up for it, i would say is a very noble thing to do. you also have know when its not appropriate to come to someones aide...it may be that they need to learn how to support themselves and be responsible, & u giving them extra cash will only prolong the suffering for everyone. so, tough love. yea..i think

Answer 8

wow this is a really deep question. the answer is really dependent on deep concious thought and the situation at hand.
i would like to say i would, but i have never been in that situation before. i think i would, or i would definitley try.

Answer 9

I would help my mother.
It doesn't change the past.
You know what you want to do and what you need to do for your own conscience.
Sometimes the kids turn out better than the parents in spite of everything. Prove it to yourself.

Answer 10

well, I understand the problem and can see your point too but for me if it were my mother I would do whatever was necessary to get her the help she needed. We have to answer for are actions in the end and I don't want to be explaining forever.
be well and happy
