[quote=Anonymous]I was a bitch to my mom as a teen and we fought constantly, and it was not all one-sided.  She definitely did/said some things she should not have done/said.  I fully planned to cut her off as soon as I got out of the house.

But then she died suddenly, and--suddenly--the whole situation/our relationship slammed into a new, horrific perspective.  Nobody is perfect, and certainly my mom was not, and no relationship is perfect; when you love someone who is thisclose to you, like your mom, the imperfections mean more to you than they would from someone else.  But I will never, ever get a chance to TRY to have a good relationship with her now, and there has been an aching void where she (or even our fights) should be, all my adult life.

If I could have my mom back, I would work on the situation, no matter what.  You will feel differently when your mom is no longer with you.  I promise.

(and I will never, ever forgive myself for being such a bitch to my mom, and for not trying to forge a good relationship when I had the chance).[/quote]
