'Dealing' with my Mom.

Betty

(My comma key doesn't work!) My mom is 86 and I'm 48. She just told me she loves me for the first time in my life. It was worth the wait. I used to have to drink when she was around because the lack of her love toward me hurt so much. I've grown and it looks like she finally has too.

Good luck in the race! Good for you!

Good luck Betty, and remember , she may well be fucked up, but she loves you.

This one always makes me laugh..

Philip Larkin - This Be The Verse

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.
