[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone’s parent truly changed and apologized? I know the odds of this are essentially zero in my case but I just can’t seem to get my heart to understand that and stop waiting for my mom to come back and be different.[/quote] My mother was recently told her illness is terminal. Part of me was hoping she would gain some clarity, but that didn’t happen. Maybe it will when she’s closer to dying, but I doubt it. Years ago, I mourned the mother I would never have, and that helps to an extent. I’ve seen friends and family struggle with those same hopes, and it is tough. Find someone to talk to about it. Seek therapy if you haven’t already. Remind yourself that you will never have one of those nice, cookie-baking moms, and think about being grateful for the loving people you had/have in your life.
