That your birth mom gave you to a family that she thought would ALWAYS love and support you...unconditionally! I am so sorry that your mom would choose the cult over her family. It is nice to have memories. But it will be the thing that I agree with others...your mom will regret turning her back.

Just keep loving yourself and letting other people love you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15229872.post-40906160396110169742008-09-19T08:17:00.000-05:002008-09-19T08:17:00.000-05:00I think you mom puts so much distance from you bec...I think you mom puts so much distance from you because she does love you, as b.e.c.k says, and it hurts her that she is told by the leaders of the cult that she can't have a relationship with you. There is probably a mix of anger and hate with it, too, and she unfortunately directs that at you because she can't direct at the real causes, those nuts in the so-called church. <BR/><BR/>It's not you, and I think you know that on a conscious level. But it's still gonna hurt at your emotional center. Nothing can change that. Having someone else who love you as you do now can help to soothe the pain, but a mother can't be replaced.<BR/><BR/>Let's keep hoping that one day your mom will turn a corner and have an aha moment.Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15229872.post-90240293309054444892008-09-18T23:34:00.000-05:002008-09-18T23:34:00.000-05:00I wonder if the situation isn't that your mom does...I wonder if the situation isn't that your mom doesn't love you any more, but rather that she's unable to make the real you fit into her idea of what should be. I would imagine that she's confused and sad and showing it in hugely inappropriate ways (e.g., sending nasty emails in the past). I'm not excusing her behavior at all. I just think, as a mom myself, that that your mom most likely does love you but can't make sense of who you are to her now. She sounds (going by past entries) like she's terribly conflicted and "stuck." I'm so, so glad you're doing loving things for yourself and that you have someone in RL to share these things with. You are a special person and deserve all the love the universe can provide. *big hugs*B.E.C.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17692965288646024168noreply@blogger.com
