all i need from my mom is the unconditional love and care. Unfortunately, she made me feel abandoned, specially when i needed her most. in my younger years i was sexually abused by my mom’s boyfriend. and she never believed in me. since then i was felt alone and always competing for my mom’s love and attention. i even tried to commit suicide and it was nothing to her. i am an MS patient and wishes to have good health always for my kids and though i am still struggling with that traumatic experience i am trying to be a good mom to my 2 kids. God is so good to me because I have a loving husband now and a 2 beautiful kids.

I am just now catching up with your blog!
I am still amazed at how blessed I was to be given my two parents. The best thing they ever did to me was introduce me to Christ, and be great examples of a wife, husband, Christian, and friend.
My Dad always had such high expectations of me. When I met these expectations, he acted like he knew I could do it all along. When I didn’t meet them, he put his arm around me and told me he loved me. He was always around. Dad loved, and still loves laughing with me. He was always there to talk to. Dad was my biggest defender. Dad was an incredible listener. When I was having trouble with boys or friends, I wanted to talk to him. He gave (gives) great advise.
Mom, like Dad, is always around when I need her. She was, and still is, the greatest example of a servant heart. She was always mature. Many of my friends’ mothers would try to act like teenagers. This, many times, would embarass my friends. Mom is just very real. She loves to laugh and nothing is more fun than making Mom laugh!

From Daddy, a daughter needs to know that she is beautiful. From Momma, she needs to know that she has what it takes to be a woman.-Brittany
