Mother

What? Mother? Maybe you are wondering why is this post titled as "Mother".



I got back home quite late last night and my Mom was nagging and doing the usual scolding and stuff like that. But, it is different this time.
She talked about her past, her childhood life. It was really terrible.

Somehow, I felt that this time my Mom became more opened to me. She is starting to pour out her bitterness that she had been holding. I really hope I could talk to her about some stuffs but I couldn't. It is always the Buddhist thing and my side that is creating a barrier in between.

I really pray hard that my Mom someday would be really opened enough for me to say some stuffs to her but it is now too sensitive for her.

So how do you relate to your mother?
How do you talk to your mother?
Have you ever comforted her?

Usually, I won't even bother talking to my Mom as I thought she is crazy! (Yes, literally.)
I really want to tell her, the whole family loves her a lot and I really want to share my experiences in Church but I can't at all.

I really believe that if I am able to console her with a few things I've learned from the Pastor, it would really help a lot.

I am wondering, how can I talk to her? how can I really get close with her?
My relationship with my Mother has not been that well for the past few years. Even for my Dad too.
I really hope for a breakthrough this year that my family would get really really close.

Any tips for me? Anyone?
