How can a mother not care?

[Blazey]

How can they not care about their child? Its something I dont understand. I've had it good i suppose..my mother and I dont always get along but I know at the end of the day..she loves me no matter what. The ones who get mad at their children and never can say..Im sorry..the ones who hurt their children repeatedly with words and actions. I was taught to respect your elders and all that..but i just have to say..some people arent deserving of that respect..nor are they deserving of the honorable title of "Mother".

I used to beleive distance was just a number of miles...now i beleive its something far different..its a gap that <s>may</s> will never be bridged...sad...

it IS sad, without a doubt

i guess though, that being a mother, while often instinctive, isn't always and just because a woman gives birth, doesn't mean she makes a good mother

some women never have children and would have made great mothers while others pump them out and aren't good mothers because they lose interest, or get selfish or or or or

some of us are lucky to have the mother (and father) that we have....some of us have to make the best of a bad deal...

my parents may not have been perfect, but i know they love me and do their best to express it...and i certainly know they have done the absolute best job in their power

that's really all we can hope for and when that isn't given, it's just plain sad

i'm not sure what brought about the first post,
chele... but it hit home

ok before i say anything dont think bad of my parents because what i'm about to say is extremely complex

but i hate them both

i have no respect really for either one. I have parents that care "NOW". things that have happen in my past just tear at my mind. some parents learn from mistakes and end up being better i guess....but they can never make up for certain things.
