regrets
i always have had such a difficult relationship with my mum and sisters..the black sheep,that was me..a life time of regrets now for all four of us, mum has cancer and is scared. My sisters are scared. Im scared.the distance between us all is screaming at me! I have two beautiful girls myself and we are a team..am bringing them up alone so we a strong unit.But what a black hole of regrets for a mother / daughter relationship Ive never had..wish it could have been like Barbaras and her girls..like mine and my girls..I will care for my mum through this crappy cancer..but how the hell can we fit in 40 years of good times we never had????
It's never too late. I know that form my own experience. For me and my mum, her illness (terminal cancer) at first brought everything that had been bubbling away (horrendous sibling rivalry) up to the surface. However, this enabled us all(including my mum) to look at all the stuff we'd swept under the carpet for years. The last few weeks of my mum's life were the saddest and most desperate I've known, yet things were resolved, and the family came together like they never had before. Take care and remember there is no such thing as a black sheep. You are her very loving daughter. xxxxx
