Do you love your mother?

Question

Do you get along together? My mother and I do, but her mother and her do not. Just wondering about others out there.

Answer 1

Of course I love my mother. We get along great now that I am older. There was a period of time that we didn't get along (13-18), but now that I am on my own and married we get along great! It is typical for teenagers to want to be independent from their parents and that causes a lot of distress in the relationship.

Answer 2

Yes I love and hate my mother and I don't like her one bit. She has abused me since birth and she still does though not physically anymore but emotionally, psychologically she doles out abuse daily. I live in another city yet she still pops over and call on the phone to annoy me.
She's never told me once that she loves me. In fact she's told me a zillion times that she wished she had drowned be as an infant, left me on the side of the street, wish I was never born, that I will never amount to anything, I'm unloveable, no one would like me much less love me, that I'm ugly. She's rejected every gift I've ever given her for birthday, mother's day and Christmas gifts, she'd say its a piece of crap, waste of money, return it. She's always undermining me on all levels. She becomes friends with my enemies. Is it possible to have a love/hate relationship cuz that's what I think I have. I hate her and love her at the same time does that make me a bad person?

Answer 3

I loved my mother more than any other living person in the world. My mother was a saint. My father use to call her the world's den mother because she use to take care of all the foreign students who came to town. My mom was an excellent cook and if there was anybody in the neighborhood who was hungry, they could count on a meal from my mom. My house was where the kids hung out. My mother was part of many organizations and a great contributor to the civic welfare. She founded an organization to give scholarships to underprivileged students of all ethnic backgrounds and her club raised 1/4 million dollars.

My mother died of Alzheimer's disease 4 years ago, I was her care giver and I miss her terribly. They adjourned the city council in her honor on the day of her funeral. The thing I miss the most is her sense of humor. The thing I remember most was that she was lost to everybody by the terrible disease. She did not remember my father to whom she was married 60 years before he died, nor my older brother who died the same year as my father. I was with her when she took her last breath and I carry her heart, I carry it in my heart.

Answer 4

MaryJ, I am very fortunate to have my mom still on this earth. As a youth I'm certain that I did many things that hurt her and in reality was a problem child and caused much stress in her life. Today however I do attempt to make amends and am not afraid or ashamed to admit that I do love my 79 year old mother very much. She is and has been throughout my live there for me and my family (her daughter in law, grandkids and great grandkids). Sad that it takes growing up and maturity to realize how important mothers are in our lives. But at least if we are lucky enough to have them still with us after we realize their importance we can show them at that time.

Answer 5

I've never gotten along with my mother, but she has mental health issues. I send her cards and we visit one another but we only discuss non-volatile subjects like the weather. Never religion or politics. My own daughter and I are very supportive of one another but we have a "fiery" relationship at times. I think she is very much like I was at her age. She is on the "go" 24/7. I have mellowed out. She is so "intense" and "opinionated" I need a break from her.

Answer 6

You got to understand one thing. For her mother she is still a child no matter what and what seems like they dont get along well might not be the fact it might be disagreements.

I love my mom and many a times we do have huge arguments and people might think we dont get along.

Having said that there is a handful of moms who arent good and children who hate parents no matter what. I am sure your mom and her mom are just argumentative.

Answer 7

I loved my mother dearly until the day she passed away. I was 17 years old and I miss her greatly to this very day. There have been many times I have needed her and she wasn't there. If you have a living mom, you should love her and have the best relationship possible.

Answer 8

Yes I do love my mother so much, we are like bestfriends i tell her a lot of my secrets and my problems, shes the first to know whats wrong with me even if i dont talk with just the way she looks at my eyes she knows me

Answer 9

My mother is dead. I hurt every time I think about her. I do love her. When she was alive she used to drink and smoke alot. She was under a lot of stress. She was very beautiful. I can never say that I never love her because she birthed me. I really love her. I miss her too. That is lovely that you do love your mother. Keep on loving her because that is what God intended mankind to do.

Answer 10

Me and my mom didnt get along up until a few years ago. I think my mom is one of my best friends. I love her so much. I actually even prefer to go shopping with my mom sometimes then my friends. So yes I love my mom very much.
