A Mother's Day Gift: an Apology, a Confession, and a Thank You
It's that special time of year again when we celebrate motherhood. I didn't send you anything this year - neither of us have ever been invested in material things - so I hope that's ok. Instead, I've decided to gift you something else this year: an apology, a confession, and a thank you.

Hey Mom, I’m Sorry and I Forgive You
Hey Mom. There’s some things I want to get off my chest. Things we’ve never really talked about. And sometimes, I wonder if they plague your mind like they do mine. It’s no secret we had a volatile relationship while I was growing up. But the relationship between a parent and a child is odd, ya know? No matter how much we hurt each other other, we just can’t let go. I felt wronged by you in so many ways. Because I was a teenager and I knew everything, right? There was no way you could have understood anything.

The Birthday Chicken. Second Place in Mother's Day Confessions Challenge.
Dear Mom, we’ve now come upon another Mother’s Day. Let’s do something differently this year, okay? They say confession is good for the soul. There’s been books written on the subjects, religions based on this principle. I don’t know how true this is, but I want to try. Honestly, I have to. I can’t go on like this forever.

Hey Daddy!
Daddy... You've given e the courage and strength to move forward, make a change in my life and do what was right for me. To live my own life and not feel like I'm going out of control from one moment to the next, which is why I wrote this letter.

Dear Mom, I see you.
Dear Mom, I doubt you'll ever read this. But that is okay. We have always had a tumultuous relationship and I know that it's nothing personal. I remember being a teenager, so nervous to first share my writing with you. It was full of so much raw emotion, so much angst, so much more than you were either ready or wanting to see. You asked me why I couldn't write about happier things. At the time it felt like an insult, but I understand it now.

My confessions to my MOM!!
Dear Mom, Today is Mother's Day, and I want you to know that you are my superhero. First and foremost, Happy Mother's Day to the most lovely mother on the planet. I've often considered declaring my love to you and thanking you, but I haven't done so in these many years. Today, I want to use this time to bend my head and thank you for many things, as well as express my love for you, mum!!

Dear mother

I wish I didn’t beg for my father, the one who made you feel worthless. I wish I could’ve understood. You were so young, only 30

Letter of a Mum to the World
Roevwade I remember my pregnancy. It was the scariest day of my life. I was convinced I was going to die. Why wouldn’t I be since my mother had died during her third childbirth? Ever since I found out I was pregnant for my husband, I had been out of my mind with happiness and dread. It was what we both wanted but with the news came a kind of sickness I had never experienced. I went from weighing a decent 70kg to 59 before I got to the 15th week of my pregnancy. I couldn’t keep anything down.

It's about me, not you!. Top Story - May 2022.
Dear Mum, Here we are again. Two journals filled and counting! When Julie, you know, that therapist I’ve been seeing for the past couple of years (thanks to growing up with a challenging mother like yourself, the one you said was a complete waste of my time and money, why do I need a therapist, there’s nothing wrong with me outside of the fact that I just don’t listen to you enough!) suggested I write in a journal and get off my chest all the things I tend to say that just aren’t helpful and usually end up with you looking bewildered and wounded and me wanting to beat my head against a brick wall, I don’t think either of us thought I would be quite so prolific. She says it helps me deal with my ‘grievances’ in a more ‘constructive’ way. According to her and her fancy doctorate, sarcasm and gentle self-loathing are not overly ‘mentally hygienic’. Honestly Mum, she sounds ALOT like you when you haughtily remind me that “sarcasm is the lowest form of wit”. The primary difference between the two of you is that her judgement and condescension cost me money while yours costs me my self-esteem.

To My Mother: Everything I Never Told You In My Life
There are a lot of things I haven't informed you about. I apologize for taking so long to get everything out, but I hope you can now appreciate the influence you have made on my life. I hope you understand that the woman I am today is solely due to the woman you were, are, and will always be. Because of the wonderful woman who reared me, I am who I am. You are my role model, best friend, shoulder to cry on, favorite cook, and the best mother anyone could ask for.
