I think you should try to put yourself in your mother's shoes (hard, I know) and then afterward make sure you try to love her the way you want to be loved. She'll come around.<BR/><BR/>Don't forget that one day you could have a college-age daughter who might say something along the lines of "Mom, I've decided I want to pattern my life after Sarah Palin's!" <BR/><BR/>Would you shut your mouth and support her? Or would you put in your two cents?<BR/><BR/>It's a tough job being a mom and moms should be allowed to make mistakes, disagree or (even) overreact sometimes. <BR/><BR/>Heck, she cleaned up your vomit at 3 AM, changed your (multiple) poopy blowout diapers, and chased your naked toddler butt around the neighborhood (that one I KNOW is true). <BR/><BR/>Be patient. And loving. And forgiving. She'll come around.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845539934606213861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-27222728347535462432009-04-03T06:20:00.000-06:002009-04-03T06:20:00.000-06:00It takes mothers a long time to see their daughter...It takes mothers a long time to see their daughters not as a continuation of themselves but as separate human beings. And, perhaps, when the daughter goes beyond what the mother has ever thought or imagined it is even harder to see, harder to see that it is not a repudiation of her but her own development that incorporates the mother.Laurahttp://www.rebelliousthoughtsofawoman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-5049296887355238172009-04-01T21:01:00.000-06:002009-04-01T21:01:00.000-06:00It's amazing how many friends you have and how muc...It's amazing how many friends you have and how much each one cares for you. That is a testimony of your true character. I hope you and your mom can have meaningful conversations and become closer. Even though I don't know her, I know she will listen to you. Pour out your heart to her. I'm sure she wants D'Arcy, not "Polyanna". Just make sure she knows you are truly listening, too. I think then you'll both feel satisfied and content...even a mutual and unconditional love for each other.

I want our kids to ALWAYS feel they can come to us even if they worry about us not agreeing. <BR/><BR/>When a family suffers because of a difference in beliefs, it makes me wonder how much those beliefs are benefiting anyone.

That's where all this comes from. Fear. <BR/><BR/>The daughter she gave birth to and raised has changed (a WHOLE lot) over the past year or so.... and it scares her. <BR/><BR/>She needs some extra hugs from you.<BR/>And reassurance that you will always love her, and your family, unconditionally, and that will not change.<BR/><BR/>That's my humble opinion.HWHLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294913024458099382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-118106764872331792009-04-01T09:09:00.000-06:002009-04-01T09:09:00.000-06:00I'm sending love to you and your mother.

And you can see how spiritual she is in everything she rights.<BR/><BR/>But she does ask questions when she sees some injustice. She stands up for those who may not be able to stand up for themselves. And just because you, mom, never felt the need for the priesthood, does not mean that OTHER women have not felt like they could not live up to their potential.<BR/><BR/>That is who your daughter is remembering. All those girls and women who feel constrained.<BR/><BR/>She is a good person.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-20781924774974560362009-04-01T07:41:00.000-06:002009-04-01T07:41:00.000-06:00That last paragraph is beautiful, and true.Sorry f...That last paragraph is beautiful, and true.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the stress you've got on your hands.Kristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771013578685419826noreply@blogger.com
