[quote=Anonymous]I could never tell my mother I loved her. She only started saying she loved me when I was an adult, and at that point I couldn't say something that felt so unnatural in the context of our relationship. We didn't have a terrible relationship by any means, but it was not a warm one. Rather than obsess over those three words, I tried to show through actions--calling, visiting, sending pictures--that I cared for her. She died several years ago, and while I wish I had been kinder in general, my inability to say "I love you" does not prey on my conscience. Our relationship was largely of her making, and within our limitations, we both tried to make the best of it in later years. I was, however, determined when I had my own children that I would tell them I love them every day, and I've pretty much stuck to that (even as they enter the teen years...).[/quote]
