Dottie's post

Dottie left a message saying that I won the flowers in Memory of her Mother's Birthday today. When I read that post tears came to my eyes. What I wouldn't give to have a relationship with my Mother. What is even sadder is my Mother is alive. I have written several times on here about how my Mother doesn't like me and to this day other than having married a man who isn't of her religion I haven't a clue as to why she will not have anything to do with me.
I have sent her emails, have sent her pictures but to no avail. She actually changed her phone number so that I couldn't contact her. Now there are always two sides to every story and I know that. I would love to hear what she thinks I may or may not have done but alas she won't even talk to me.
I don't know I guess I don't understand how you can just toss your children aside. Okay I get it I am not 20 years old I am almost 50 and she is almost 70 so...... wouldn't you think she would try to help fix whatever it is I have done or not done.
If fixing it means I have to live the way she wants then I guess it will never get fixed. Prejudice is such a sad thing and thank god I took after my Grandparents who were not prejudice .

Your post makes me so sad. As someone that lost my daughter two years ago, I can't imagine turning my back on my daughter. I can only say that although your mother may have her reasons, they have nothing to do with you. They are HER reasons. Don't ever think that you are to blame for her actions. You are worthy of love...as you well know because you have a beautiful relationship with your husband. Maybe someday your Mom's heart will soften, I hope for her sake it will. Just send good thoughts her way...she needs them.
