I have made plenty of mistakes in my childhood and do now but I am trying to rectify those. As a result of my actions, my mom and I are no longer close. She loves me and I love her, but we no longer have a relationship. I miss my mom sorely. What should I do?

The only thing you can do is sit down and have a long talk with her. If your relationship is to the point you don't think you can do that, write her a long letter expressing exactly how you feel. Let her know you'd like to talk when she is ready. Mom's love their kids no matter what they do. They may hate your actions, but will always love you. She is probably just a lonely for you as you are for her.

Figure out what made you two drift apart in the first place. once you do was it with the pain not able to talk to your mom when you need her. You only have one mother and i see that you miss her a lot. Why not call her and just talk to each other and see if you two can patch it up. you are not the only mother and daughter has been through this road. When you do talk to your mother tell her that you love her and that you miss being with her. Let the past go once you resolve your differences.. hope all goes well between you and your mother...

You know how parents tell their kids that they need to "Grow Up" ? Well sometimes the parents need to "Grow Up". I think that alot of parents forget what it was like to be young and make mistakes. If parents were to realize that they were not perfect when they were your age and remember what it felt like then possibly they could relate to theri kids better. Just keep letting her know that you love her and that just because you made some mistakes doesn't mean that it should come between you two. One day she will inderstand how you feel. Hang in there and Good Luck.

Everyone makes mistakes, but to accept that you have been wrong is the correct road to take.
You MUST be sincere and honest, and try to do your best.
You are lucky your Mom is still alive.
Mine is not, and there is so much I took for granted. Now I wish she was here and I could try to make her life a bit easier, but it is too late for me. It is not too late for you !!!!!
Don't expect everything to suddenly be perfect. It took a long time to get where you are, and it will take a long time
for her to trust you fully
Look at it all from your MOM's side and go from there........

Spend some time together and get to know each other again. I suggest this is done slowly with increasing frequency only if you are both bonding and enjoying your get-togethers. The thing about us Moms is that we Love our children unconditionally and can forgive virtually anything.

call her & tell her you miss her & that you should get together soon. you should make one day out of the week that you go see her, it's so important to stay close with parents they've done so much for you & brought you into this world the least you can do is spend the rest of your life thanking & respecting them.

Express these feelings to her. Let her know that you understand the wrongs that you have done in thes past. She is your mom, it can always be rectified!

I would say that the best thing to do is to clearly express to your mother how you feel. Sometimes the best way to do this can be writing a letter. It takes time to think of what you want to write and thinking with time is the best way to et things down exactly the way you feel them.

Start with a phone call. Progress to a lunch. Eventually, you'll be in your PJs drinking hot cocoa and having girl talk.

The only thing I can say is that you can show your mom that you have changed (actions speak louder than words) and go to God(I hope that didnt offend you)
