First, I’d like to wish all the wonderful, hard working and caring mothers out there a very Happy Mother’s Day. I’d particularly like to thank my mom for everything she has done and continues to do for our family, her selfless ways of giving and her continued caring and encouragement has made me who I am today. Thanks Mom and Happy Mother’s Day!
With Mother’s Day arriving this year, it’s a good time to re-examine our relationship with the one who brought us into this world. We all feel a bit of guilt when we get angry or annoyed with our mothers. After all, without her, we wouldn’t be here. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t improve the way we interact with our mothers. Generational differences inherently have the potential for conflict when it comes to our perspectives on life. Our needs and hopes will almost always differ from what our mothers think is best for us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find some common ground to share with “mom.” Talking these out in a safe environment with a professional often produces results which both of you can live with. That can set the foundation for which you and your mother (or father!) can have a healthy relationship that will last for years. They won’t be around forever, so let’s give them the attention and care that they deserve and make this Mother’s Day one that will be a positive turning point in your relationship.
