"Mom" and I are best friends       12/27/04 09:55 AM Edit Reply Quote ecmmbm Reged: 02/23/03 Posts: 1622 Loc: North Carolina I know it's VERY rare but my Mom (mil) is my best friend, hands down. It took a few years but once we worked through a couple things and I understood how genuinely and unconditionally she cares about me, our relationship just BLOSSOMED. I talk to her every day about everything under the sun. I think sometimes it comes down to personality issues and there's not much you can do about that. My mother loves me, I know that, but she doesn't understand me and I dont' understand her. Since I was about 12 I've felt older than her and as though I've been protecting HER instead of the other way around. So I would not say we were close and sometimes being with her just exhausts me. We also have a lot of baggage. On the flipside, "mom" and I are just TOO MUCH alike, it's pretty funny sometimes, so it's no surprise that we feel at ease with one another. I'd say just be genuine and a good listener and there's not much else you can do. The effort has to be 2 way and if it's not, then that is not your fault. Hugs! -------------------- Take care, Michelle ...the greatest of these is LOVE. (I Cor 13) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
