Inspired by someone else's question. I didn't get the name..
I remember being little and my mom (who is bi-polar) took me with her to the store. She dressed me in a princess dress that had spaghetti straps and it was freezing out but I didn't care because I loved that dress and we had a picnic in the park and it was so cold but I thought it was a great idea because I was just a little kid. Looking back, I know she was having an "episode" and it's a wonder nobody took me away from her..

sure...many of them. I think although it is interesting t go back and reevaluate to the point of self torture, that it is important to live in the here and now.....I guess your mom may have been having an "episode" but she clearly only wanted to please you......even if you did get cold. I am sorry you see that as a negative....the roots of the day were based in happiness....you could still see it that way if you chose to, it's all about perception.
Later, you don't have to like the answer that I gave but it is a true one....read some of the other questions and answers out there about how some parents have treated their kids....your mom was ill....assuming you are not ill, get over it, this is not meant to be mean but it is up to you if you wallow in un due self pity or get on with your life and let it go. nobodys upbringing are of the story book nature we would al like them to be, my point was and is, she was trying to show you a good day and all you can do is remember the negative...maybe you have some cup half empty issues...

I'd have to say the day I married my ex husband. I was young and stupid and thought everything was going to be just great. Little did I know that he would turn into an abusive jerk.
So I kept that as a happy memory for a while, but now I think about that day and just shake my head.

You mean like the times my mom would disappear for days and told me she was teaching me how to be a mom by having me at 9 take care of 6 younger children. I felt so grown up. I got to make all the decisions ! I have figured out graham crackers are not a good dinner.

You know what, as a mother i would have to say that that does not sound so bad. If you were happy then maybe she was doing it for you. I get your point tough. My mother never did anything really that I can remember that brought a smile to my face even tough she was a good mother. I am sure your mother's heart was in the right place.

Yeah I have one with my Grandma. She was mentially ill at this point in time. One night we were having a good time enjoying each other's company. Then all of a sudden she told me the lamp bit her. That's when I figured out about mental illness, but it's a time that I had her alone to myself while she was still alive.

aaww,that is sad. My mom would take me everywhere with her,and I would think of how I was so special to her,because she chose me to go with her all the time,but now I look back and remember that the place's she took me to, were her friends houses to get drunk,loud,obnoxious,etc,and then drive home drunk with me at all hours. I was taken along because I was to little to stay home alone and she just had to have her drinks.

I remember my Dad was packing and I offered to help him in a bright and cheery voice when I was about 7. I didn't see a lot of him and just wanted to be near him whenever he was home. Well, he was packing because he was moving out! Our relationship only went downhill fast from there.

yes dear, mom took me to church with her when I was 9 and she was going in for open heart surgery. it felt so special at the time but later I realized what she was dealing with and how she must have been feeling because the odds were not good. she survived and we battled, we became close gain before she died. ♥
