RE: Reflections on my Late Mother's Birthday

in Silver Bloggers6 days ago

I'm lucky that both of my parents are still alive! Are they perfect? Far away from it, but they did raise my sister and me fairly well... I suppose... lol... 😃

I suppose your mother is generational somewhere around my grandparents, who lived, as you said, in completely different times... Unfortunately, some had a very hard life during the war(s), which made their skin thicker, but also created some wounds that never healed... Perhaps it's just an excuse for their behavior, but I can't hold a grudge against anything they did or said as I didn't live their lives...

There was definitely a time in my younger years where I bore a bit of a grudge against my parents, and especially against my mom but I am long past that.

As you said, they went through their own periods of hard times and those were very different times from what we experience today. I know they did the best they could with what they had and I'm grateful for the knowledge they passed along, even though there were also some years of therapy to get over the negative parts!
