I do hope you are well without her. I am soo glad to hear that you have found a place here, a place to share what your going through and maybe help someone else in the process.. Ya when i read it i thought i was husband and wife as well. Very disheartening to hear stuff like that. My heart goes out to you nighthag I do agree that sharing pain does help the healing process Thank you so much for taking the time to visit, It is sad that this poem comes from personal experience but sharing our pain is one of the first steps of healing Sa'ge thanks so much, looking at it from this angle makes it easier to believe that despite it all she loves me, in time perhaps I will be ready to reach out to her again.
D just remember, we care for the sick! Feel and know that it is an illness and not her, love her unconditionally over and above the illness. Makes it a bit easier to heal yourself. You do not need to heal her, but you can heal and do need to heal your self. D love you girl: I don't want to fuel the bitterness between us anymore than it is, but is so hard to shake off All the hurt and upsets, Accepting who she is has been hard enough, but your right if i can love her unconditional then i am only healing myself Since you recognize the issue then you can replace the pain with love unconditional love You do not need to be around her, just to feel that love in your heart.
Speak of her with love, think of her with love, replace the bad thoughts with the few good ones there were, how ever few they may be, when someone is ill, we feel for them and want to care for them with love in our hearts, Your mother is ill, even if you do not go to see her, your love that you traded with the pain will touch her unseen. Take her in love to your prayers, in time you will not fell the pain but you will have become a most wonderful gorgeous person full of unconditional love for all.
Your mother is your test for learning unconditional love.

D I know you are so full of unconditional love just waiting to burst out! Going by the title alone, I had expected something completely different and at the end I just said 'wow'. Talk about making one cry. That dreaded lump is in my throat again. This is pwerful and it kills my soul to see people in pain. Sending you a big warm hug! I love my mother and I miss her. My dear Nighthag, what a toughing poem!
Know this though, it can still turn around! Life is to short to stay a foe of your own daught. I know that you must have done every thing in your power to make the relatonship work and now the ball is in her court! I am sorry for you loss, Forgiving our parents for their mistakes and sometimes who they are is the best thing we can do for ourselves. Nighthag, I can relate with your pain. It's like losing someone who is still alive. Mum died when I thought I could have enough time to share with her and it took me a while to forgive her 'cos she had made so many promises that she didn't live to keep.
Couldn't have said it better myself. It's nice to know your not the only one you know? Keep up the writing, your great! Since letting go of her expectations and finding the courage to follow my own dreams silly as they may be I have allowed myself to breath and for the first time in a long time stop judging myself. I can feel your emotions with this poetry, it touched my soul and I could just imagine feeling unloved and unappreciated by a person who should have loved and appreciated you for who you are.
I wish you well, and my prayers are with you. I'll just be HP away my friend! I have read this over and over. I thankyou for sharing this. Writing is a great way to rid yourself of pain. I believe you are taking the first steps to do this. I wish you much peace and love. As you can see, your writing touches many I came back to reread and share your thoughts and emotions. I think we have to have confidence in who we are and believe that we have tried our best to make things work. Certain outcomes we cannot be responsible for. We have to move on and find other loves that overwhelm you and help you through your hard times.
Love should always be given freely. In time maybe you will understand why things went wrong and understand maybe some people have many issues they have to deal with.

Until you love yourself you can hardly love someone else. Hoping a friendly voice will bring a little extra cheer. I can relate to your touching poem as I have a wife with daughter issues that never seems to get resolved.
I often wonder if people fester in emotional pain for the pleasure of it rather than an avoidance of the truth. My guess is that there are some hidden issues at work here and your written expression reveals a need for an outlet; for both of you. But I have been so touched by the comments i have received since posting this, that i cant not find comfort from yours and others words. Knowing that others have walked this path, gives me hope that i am making the right choice and that i am capable of following my dreams far from her criticism.
I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to share with me, what i know is a deep hurt. Nightag - I understand first hand how hard the decision is to leave an unhealthy relationship with your mother. As, I have had to make that same decision. It rips at your heartstrings.
It goes against every grain of your being. Even as an adult, that little girl inside of you, wants nothing more than to have a loving, kind, and nurturing mother in her life. And yet, the healthiest thing you can do for yourself is to remove yourself from the toxicity. It has been a lifetime of pain and confusion.
From Courage
Like me, you owe it to yourself to surround yourself with beauty, love and healthy relationships. As hard as it is, may you find comfort in knowing that there are others out their with the same struggles. Powerful words they convey pain, so raw, so hurtful.. I am so terribly moved to tears.. I can feel the pain with you..
I can only applaud your dedication to your parents, it hurts when our parents are more enemies in disguise then supportive caring family members I heard my own story in this poem. But I keep trying my best to staying around my parents, unless for make sure, they have what they need.
Grief, Loss & Love Poetry and Prose
I agree there is nothing like the pain of losing such close family, how I wish we both could find a way to heal the hurts and make our families whole. Thank you so much for your kind words, making the choice to pull out of the painful relationship has been very hard for me, I love my mother I just wish she would try and understand our differences Acaetnna, I will always mourn the loss of our relationship, but it was too damaging for me and my family to live under her constant judgements.
I feel your pain I have been estranged from my oldest daughter going on almost 10 years now and it hurts me badly. I also have two other younger children who I don't see as well. There is nothing more painful than not having the love of your children. Martie, it is heartbreaking to realise that you will never reach the goal of having a healthy relationship with one of the most important people we can have in our lives. You rose above it all and have a beautiful family to call your own.
As much as the losses run deep, in the end, the deepest of all losses is hers. For she will never know how beautiful you really are. Oh this is so sad! My heart goes out to you. You have managed to express all the sadness of a broken bond between a mother and her daughter.
Very powerful words and I feel the deep emotion and always wanting but never getting. I can relate to so well.

I kept myself together for a year, and now without the pitiful distractions, I have to look at myself, alone. Debilitating heartache Making me bleak. Pining to both relive and forget the past. Everything is still so crystal clear. The smells, the sights, the feelings.
How could I have let it slip away from me like that? Did he ever speak of me? Ever talk about me? Or did he just forget the joyous days we spent together? Am I the only one homesick for not my house, but for a person? My lip twitches as sentimental recollections start to overflow and spill, creating a puddle of emptiness, longing, and heartbreak. Watching the clock tick down seconds I've wasted waiting for you. What Is True Joy? It's in the isolation and brutality of the wild that we come to know Him in ways that transcend the span of human imagining or desiring, and all the songs and all the poems and all the masterpieces taken together cannot capture an estimable description of the pleasures that might be unearthed there.
There lies before us in our afflictions a vast and wondrous beauty yet undisclosed behind the fog, and like a theatrical curtain slowly pulled back to reveal a perfectly set stage He will sublimely unveil it in His own directed time. And we shall be elated at the view, for it's against a backdrop of struggle and darkness that the best and most moving of stories have always unfolded.

When Is It Time? This is a comforting poem, for those who are struggling with the impending loss of a pet. How do you know when it is time to take that final, long, sorrowful journey to the veterinarians? If These Walls Could Talk. Feelings of being trapped, scared and all alone are difficult to understand, let alone try to share. There are times in our lives when we feel helpless and caged in a hell-like place of our own creation.
And Yet I Die. There are times when we feel isolated and alone; we can appreciate the beauty around us but can not feel it in our hearts.
Life is an accumulation of joys and pains, the one making us richer, the other sometimes becoming obstacles too high to climb. If an angel can feel joy, as most believe, must they not also be capable of sorrow? We all suffer our share of pain. Some, though, don't know how to rid themselves of the pain. And some just need help. Sad Poems Subcategories Menu poems.
