Mothers Who Hate Their Daughters

A mother's love should be unconditional. A mother's love should include encouragement, trust and thoughtfulness. For some of us, however, a mother's love is a constant state of confusion. There is an actual 'condition', you might say, that makes a mother distant, controlling, spiteful, deceitful and jealous. This blog is to help others, like myself, hopefully understand and cope with their situation and perhaps gain a healthier relationship with our mother.

Envy

I feel envious of close families. Today is our church's Baptism Sunday. I see all the families there celebrating their newly baptized family member. They will leave and have celebrations full of family and friends... as it should be.
I was baptized when I was 13 years old. Afterward we came home from church like any other Sunday without fanfare.
When my daughter was baptized, it was a big day for her and I made sure of it. Her Aunt (my sister) and a few close friends. There was no recognition from my mother (her grandmother) whatsoever.

A baptism is a rebirth and should be celebrated just like the birth of a child. We are new in Christ and should act accordingly.

It really makes sense that our family has actually been segregated into smaller family groups. You and I and our families, our older sister and brother and their families and our older 2 brothers alone so to speak. So, we celebrate with our smaller family groups. I just wish that our mom could celebrate with all of us. After all, it was her choice to have 6 kids... not ours. But I'm thankful she did so we can be best friends. There is a reason for everything.

Birthdays, holidays, graduations, baptisms, etc. are important but we were made to feel bad for inconveniencing her with them. You should want to be there.
