My Mother, My Friend?

Picture
Mom, let me begin by saying that there is nothing wrong with you. You are a product of your parenting, and your quest to parent differently is causing you discomfort because you are questioning behaviors and attitudes that were normalized during your childhood. You were told so often that you were not you mothers friend, and even though your relationship with your mother is not the best, it is your only parenting map.

Mom, you know where you want to go, your instinct is telling you to follow the map, but your heart wants to try a different route in hopes of discovering something new. Positive Parenting “prioritizes maintaining and strengthening the parent-child connection**”, so ask yourself if this is possible by following the map given to you by your mother, or will you chart your own course.

If you still can’t decide, consider the reflection below:

When I think of a best friend, I think of a person who loves me unconditionally, supports me in my endeavors, praises my accomplishments, corrects me when I am wrong, listens when I need to talk and offers sound advice when needed. 

When I think of a mother, I think of a person who loves me unconditionally, supports me in my endeavors, praises my accomplishments, corrects me when I am wrong, listens when I need to talk and offers sound advice when needed.
