Strange thing from the past...

MorbidBry by MorbidBry Walking(October 2007) (rank 500+)

I decided to write about something...strange...at least it's strange in my opinion...

I don't know how many of the members are parents...and how many are children...But I think that this can be a very good example of PARENT-CHILD relation...

Some time ago (actually some years ago)...I was sitting

in my armchair...watching the TV...when my mom entered in the room.I saw her face and I noticed at once that something is wrong...She was very close to burst into tears...I closed the TV...and asked her what's wrong...She wasn't surprized of that because I always ask her...if she's ok...how's work...or things like that...But in that day she was acting very strange.Somehow I mannaged to talk to her...It was the first time that I had to pull her words out...It was so obvious that she didn't wanted to talk...Somehow she started to talk...She started to tell me about many problems...problems I didn't even knew about...she tried to keep me in the dark so I can focus on school, studies...she didn't wanted me to be worried..(as any parent does...they don't want us to be involved in any problems)....Not a moment later she was crying...IN MY ARMS :O ..She asked..."Am I a bad mother?"...in that moment I was shocked..I've never seen someone fight so hard to rase a children like she did...When I asked her...why does she think that...she answered "Don't you see?I can't give you what other parents give to their children!"...My only answer was..."If you think that a bike...or a very good PC...or I don't know...a big pile of money would bring me happiness you're very wrong!You are the only one who believes in me, in my power...and you are the one who was by my side all my life...You gave me love! Money, clothes, PCs, cars, bikes....or anything else or nothing!" I asked her to stop thinking that because she divorced she did a mistake...She did the best thing ever for me...

I don't know how many of you ever felt...like me...because...it's very strange for a 14 year old girl(that was my age at that moment)  to hold her mother in her arms...to held a 39 women crying in her arms...and calm her down...I must admit that I cried alot then...I cried by her side...And I am almost crying now...remembering and knowing how many times I was very close to loose her...I don't know if anyone can imagine what a child can feel when he sees something like this...I don't know how many children had passed through this kind of exprience...but this changed me....totally...I really love my mother...and respect her very much...and I must say I am sorry  that sometimes I act like a real idiot...or I don't know...I really can make her very mad...but I know she understands me...she proove it to me a million times...over and over again...Parents have the gift to forgive their children and understand them in everything...(this amazes me)...but sometimes children are the ones who must understand their parents...We must understand eachother...

Well, parents are people too, with emotions and the whole gammit...i think as a teenager i wouldn't have thought that about my parents but then they wouldn't have opened up to me.  As a parent you don't want to burden your kids, but if having a cry on each others shoulders and sharing  each others emotions brings you closer together, it's a good thing. Well done.

Hi there,

Thanks for sharing this story with us . . .   What a great first article! As a parent I began to cry as I read this as its so very real and honest and there have been many times when I, like many other parents have came close to breaking down in front of my children.

I am sure that this only brought you closer than ever to your mum and that your bond with her is awesome.

Cheers Kellz

This must have been hard for both of you. But I am sure you came out of it stronger people in the knowledge that you love each other so much. As parents, we try and shield our children from any pain or heartache, but sometimes we need to know that our kids will love us all the same.Great first article.
