Now that I'm writing this to you I don't quite know what to say To tell you how I feel in my heart I will do, I hope and pray To try to tell you how I feel inside I know is way past due I would have tried to write this sooner if I had known how to explain to you Strong emotions the thoughts of this is bringing to my mind But my heart needs to you be expressed so words I will attempt to find My dear sweet little girl, I wish I could change the things that happened to you If any way possible, I could do this you know I surely would do Because of the abuse you were made to suffer in your younger days Somehow I feel responsible that it happened though most times you said I was away I had to work to help us along and to help pay the bills For food on our table, clothes to wear and for a place to live Yet there are no excuses for all the hurts and the suffering you have gone through Please believe me, my child, it would never have been if I had known what was happening to you The fear and hurt, the wondering why the questions still in your heart If I could move it all, my darling daughter I would quickly make it depart I try so hard not to let hatred stay in my heart to dwell If I do this, I know for a fact hates sign will surely be felt Hate is like a disease if allowed to stay it will grow It must be removed, try to be taken away of this I surely know But it's such a difficult thing to do with the reason of the hate so close to my heart For you, my only child, have been hurt so badly so of your hurt I feel a part Through all of your life, some different choices I had made I wish so very desperately now My darling little girl, is there any way in your heart I can move this hurt from you somehow No matter how hard you try you can never forget all of this horrid past But try to remember, my sweet child your Mother's love for you will forever and always last I love you, my daughter [This message has been edited by garysgirl (07-29-2003 12:41 PM).] |

It must be hard being a mother sometimes. But a wonderful joy as well. This was a great poem.  |

 Ethel Mae, you sweet lady...you surely are the best mom. I hope writing this helped you. Your girl is truly loved by you, and the things someone else did, were not your fault. I too, would take away any pain you and her feel, if i could.  but I can't so i'll just offer you hugs instead.you write so well of the pain and of the love. much love, gem xxx |

Ethel, there are tears running down my monitor screen! I don't know if they are yours or mine!  You express emotion so well in your writing--whether it be love, joy,--or pain... Sending a rainbow of healing lights to you and your daughter, Linda |

In the pooling of this heartfelt write, must be release for the mother that has felt such pain, and you know; we all do question how we could have made it different...and we must remember that we do not make the plan. This was such a pure and tender post Ethel. All blessings, TD |

Ethel---I've been on the other side of this mother/daughter situation, and this poem helps me to see how my mother must have felt; but she never told me...I hope you have said these things to your daughter, or that you show her this poem.  for this honest writing. |

It can be too late to prevent the hurt, but it's almost never too late to help the healing, and it starts with words like these. I hope that it's so for you. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Miah Gemma Linda Nancy Shara Kathleen Liz Seymour Icy Flame Elizabeth Martie Hope Robert Sue James Ed My friends, as I have said before, when I post something about this that happened to my daughter, it really is hard for me to do. I feel it's necessary to talk about these things that hurt us so bad, though. And, I can talk to Gary and you friends I have here easier than anyone else about these things. This was especially hard to post. I've had it written since November of last year, but have hesitated to post it. I deeply appreciate all of you and thank each and every one of you who took the time to write such compassionate and understanding comments. You are all very special people, with very tender and loving hearts. I know how hard it is to reply to something hurtful like this. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Heart hugs to each of you. Ethel |

Please believe me, my child, it would never have been if I had known what was happening to you This stabs my heart... for while nothing can erase what's done, it can only help her healing to know that you would have protected if you could have... for no one's omniscient... and even a mother can't be everywhere at all times. *S* Now when they know... and do nothing... learning to live is hard enough... learning to forgive's beyond me. *S* A painful write... I hope it helps the healing... for you both. |

Dixie, my friend, I know you are. Thank you . Ruth, thank you, my friend. I know...that is unthinkable to me that a Mother who knows such is going on would not get her daughter (or son) away from the situation ......somehow!! Unimaginable, to me!!  . I know this hurts to reply to. Thanks to both of you and I appreciate ya'll very much. Hugs to both of you Ethel |

Chris, it's so hard when she doesn't want to talk about it. The guilt and hatred for him are still so real to her. I try so hard to let her know that I would take everything away if I could, and would have stopped it if I had known. She tells me that she knows I would have. But the things he told her kept her from telling me. He was very domineering. Now, her husband is, from what I can tell. She sees a therapist regularly who is also giving her a lot of ideas, I think. If we lived closer together instead of thousands of miles apart, I think I could help her more than I can now. Please keep praying for me and my daughter. And, thank you for being here for me. I appreciate it more than I can say.  Hugs to you, sweet Lady Ethel (Psssstttt...thanks for the cute joke in the e-mail!) |

Our dear Ethel...sometimes the pain is lessened when it is shared, and friends can help ease the pain. I know these feelings, and understand, as your daughter will also, as mine did when I finally said it to her. God bless, my friend...~V~ I speak from the Voice Of Experience |

Voe, thank you very much for your sweet reply. I'm sorry that you and your daughter went through these things, but am very glad that she understood your feelings when you talked to her. Again, thank you. Hugs Ethel |
