~ By Sue ~ When I think about it She is so much like him There were so many times When I really needed her Those times she was not there But just like him She likes to make herself look good Pretending to be there for me But when it comes right down to it She really was not there If you can not trust your mother How can you trust someone else 10-12-02 |

Sounds like you're coming to grips with a lot of reality, Sue... I'm glad you've got some place to put your thoughts... Sometimes it takes a lot of gumption to release so much...I'm proud of you. |

I felt the deep sadness and pain of this poem. Things that should be a given not always are and so we struggle. It is a very painful hurt wanting something or finding out that what we thought we had was false, especially when it comes from those who are supposed to nuture us. But, the good news is that once we understand that we can not understand the "how could you" we are in a much better postion to move on, forgive and heal ourselves. SG |

deep questions and put in such a way that it was thought provoking. Lovely if heartwrenching. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

This is very well written. I like your comparison. I read a report some time ago that said we all, male and female choose a partner just like our mother. Of course if you look hard enough you can find another set of stats. which will say just the opposite. Don't know your situation or if you are writing about you, but I do like your thinking process in this piece. Thank you for sharing. Makes me think. Warmly, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

(big hugggssssss) Oh Sue, this is powerfully heartaching, sweet friend, I too have heard of this theory that Patricia said and my heart goes out to you and this dilemma! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

Hon this was hard for me to read, as it reminded me of my own mother! So, I'm sending you a big heart and hoping it makes both of us feel better. Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

SmartChick - how can one trust someone that isn't really there when needed. I learned that lesson... BC |

Sue, I thought that you did a good job on this, even though it is very sad that people do this to others. If this happened to you, I hope that things are better for you. Thanks for sharing your heart. Love To All, Ethel |
