Hello dear friends/mylotters,mere bhai/s,sister/s, When you fall down,when you felt that you are alone,when your dreams shattered right before your eyes... ....do you run home?....home to your parents,and cry in your mother's lap? Remember when you were a kid,when someone hurt you,or made you cry...did you ever gone running home to your mother's rescue? Some people see us strong,and even men looks physically strong,but,i am sure that,they also cried deep inside. We never knew that,men also gone running home when they fall down. How about your dear friends?... Waiting for your responses and opinion. It's so nice to cry with our mom's caress and tender loving arms wrapped around us.

I confide, but usually I don't cry in anybody's lap or over somebody's shoulder. No, I never do that. I have been emotional enough in love, and friendship, and expressed with tears. But, whenever I have been in trouble or facing some struggle I have never cried. I've been depressed and worried and spoken it over with friends and loved ones, but I never run home and cry.

Hello cobradene, Maybe becoz men are not used to it...crying on someone's shoulder or crying on their mom's lap. But,i am pretty sure,you cry inside...deep inside there is this sobbing heart too shy to show the world that it is in pain. We can always speak our worries and pain with friends,and loved ones,and it give us some relief also. Just knowing that,they are always around us give us the comfort and feeling of security. thanks for your response and have a good day always. HAPPY HOLIDAY

I don't see my parental home as the place to run to, but now I have a child of my own, I love to get home and play with her if I have any troubles. The relationship with my little girl puts all other problems completely in perspective - as long as she loves me, nothing else matters...

hello jaiho! when i was younger and not married yet, there are times or most of the time, i run to my mom, specially when i have some problems that i can no longer take... there's one time in my life that i remember crying so hard with my mom and mom also cried with me... it was a difficult situation for me and really heart breaking! but you know, after talking with her...everything seems to be right again and i feel like there's a big thorn pulled out in my heart... but now that i am married, very seldom do i run to mom whenever i have problems specially if it has something to do with my husband...hehe and as much as possible, as much as i can, i don't want them to worry about me and so i try my best to solve it my way...but there's some petty things that i also ask some littlke help from mom...but just on petty things... good day my friend & happy holidays!

Hello amiga, Absolutely dear,i also had same experience,crying our heart out with our mom makes us feel so secured. And give us serenity that seems long time ago we haven't found in our heart. The mother's touch,the mother's tender loving care can take away all the sorrow and pains casts upon our shoulder. I could understand your situation now,we don't want our mom to feel worried,that is why we seldom tell them when we are facing some problem now. And,we knew very well that they will also get hurt when we're hurt,so,we never want them to know some things that we think is not necessary for our mom to know. thanks for your response dear and have a nice day always. HAPPY HOLIDAY

I just go in my room and have a good cry. Then I kinda feel better afterwords. But I don't run to my mother I am a little too old for that. But it is nice to know that she is always there for me.

hello jahernandez, Oh,so you feel you are little too old to run and cry on your mom's loving arms? But,me,i don't feel so.... Crying inside our room also gives me some relief,but,there was really that time that,i need my mom,to hear me cry. I seldom do it,actually,i guess,it's my second time to cry out loud in my mom's arms. It always gives me the comfort and security that i wanted to feel. Thanks for your response and have a good day always. HAPPY HOLIDAY

when we was child,we could not have ablity to protest ourself,so we hope that we can give comfort and caress from mother.the time is passing,we have growed up after before,learning to be adapt to exist in the life and use the knowlege and our experience to protect ourself,although i dont run home again when i fall down,but my home is still my home,when i am tired of life,i can hope that i can have a rest at home and giving my comfort and caress.

Hello dear friend, Yah,our younger days we tend to be very dependent,we always seek our mother's comfort everytime that we fall down,or we are facing problem. Now,that we are grown ups,and we feel that we can live our life independently,we seldom come home and seek some help from our family. But,there are still time in my life that,i still need my mom,feeling the comfort and security on her arms makes me feel more confident to do things and try new things too. Thanks for your response dear and have a Happy Holiday

Hi jaiho2009 That's right! When I feel sad, I always miss my home really much. Well, actually I miss my room with my pink piggy doll. I miss my doll's face and also the smell of my body lotion and perfume inside my room, and my big bed. I feel so comfortable and relax after arrive in my room, then think about the next plan, fall asleep or cry on my bed I feel shy talk about my problem to mom and dad. Usually I tell them by saying that it is my friend's problem or "just ask, how if....". That's it. Never tell them the truth that it's my own problem. But seems like they understand without I have to say it

Hello Chrysan, Oh,i knew about it,our old room and old stuffs...and everything that give us memories of our younger days. Yah,i guess almost all parents are too sensitive to sense when we are having problem or when we are in trouble. We don't need to say every words or details...but they can feel about our pain. The parental love feels it all,the bonding of parent+daughter=love is indescribable,undefined,that no word's come close enough to describe what is it. Thanks for your response dear and have a nice day always

YES, where on earth would I go but my home. The shelter of my own roof, the loving arms of my wife, the cheerful smiles of my kids. It gives me strength to cope with the worst problem at hand. And if I felt that all the people in the world is against me, then theres always my family who will comfort me and accepts me without any conditions. YES, I will run to my home when life seems to fall apart.

hello Fulltank, Precisely,where on earth is the safest place and comfortable one when we want peace and comfort rather than our own home,with our family and loved ones to give us security. thanks for your response and have a good day always
