    just words put together, it's harder to write when it's fresh in your mind, but i like to write raw sometimes as it helps


    As she looks in the mirror
    at a face she barely sees
    through the blistering tears
    welling up in her eyes
    no longer tears of guilt or fear
    but tears of relief and understanding
    she no longer feels at fault
    for the pain of her child
    no longer afraid of what others may say
    she lets the tears drop down her face
    allowing the pain to start to wash away
    with each tear that drops
    judgemental,guilty,unfit,useless,heartless
    the harsh words she used on herself
    slowly drip away with the salty tears
    she wipes her eyes and looks again
    the pain being replaced with words of love
    love for herself, love for her child
    loving,caring,thoughtful and wise
    beautiful inside and out
    her eyes start to shine the tears slowly drying
    helped along by others who cared
    showed her it wasn't her fault
    a mothers pain replaced by a mothers love

    Sapphire - it's been a rough road for me with one of my children. There's not enough room here to tell the whole story, but at 18 she left home in a not so good way. Some of it was just the myopic selfishness of being 18, some of it was me. It was bad. I curled up in a fetal position in my bed for days, crying, saying all the things this mother said here. It's taken me a long time to forgive myself for the places I went wrong, but I'm getting better. I just posted a blog post about my own mother and how I learned to forgive her. Looking forward to the day my child forgive me.

    being a mother is the hardest job i've ever had , we don't always have the answers and we aren't always perfect but we are just human at the end of the day and we all make mistakes, it's how we choose to get through those that defines us, forgiveness for a parent is often harder to do until we are old enough to realise a lot about ourselves and our lives, i do hope you get things sorted with her, big hugs xx
