I don't think everyone loves their mother or needs to love their mother. I think that is something that is earned. Love is earned. Many people are able to make a baby. Just because we carry a child to term and deliver that child does not mean we are a mother by any means. It is how we bring these children up that makes us a mother. I have a mother. I have a love/hate relationship with her. I do keep in contact with her, but I do limit that contact to my terms, and sometimes that is hard. I really want a mother. Seriously I do, yet, I am not sure she will ever be able to do that for me. I respect the fact that she gave me life. It is the things she did in life that has done damage to me. It is my job to fix that, on my own. It is my job to not pass that on to my children. It is my job to become whole. Not everybody loves their mother. I do, but, it is not a normal way people would feel it should be. It was not like growing up with June Cleaver.
