Today is my Mother's birthday, she passed away thirty years ago at age 45. She had five minor children at the time,me not being one of them. Our very large family was far from normal. This time of year is very hard for me because it is both the time of her birthday and death. I felt like she left some very important business left undone. Like telling her children that she loved them and why she let most of us be abused by both parents. I love my mother as a child should love their parent however I am so sad that she never made anything right with most of her children. I do not have problems with my child hood I made a lesson out of everything they did to me. But I wonder how different things would be today if she were to live long enough to tell her children or most of them that she loved them

So very sorry about your mother. when they pass away it is hard especially if there is stuff that is left unsaid between you. We can always wonder what would have been if they would have lived that is how i feel too. I wish she would have told you that she loved you and why everything that has happened to you. Take care.

Losing a parent is horrible, but particularly when they pass so early on in their life. You have to remember that your Mother will have loved you and wanted for you to be happy with everything that you do in your life.
Learn lessons from her, and remember to tell your children that you love them whenever you can. Children are precious; never let them think you take them for granted.

parents are like umbrella and we miss the protection they provide us with while they are alive, and I miss my mom too, she raised us single handedly being widowed at the age of 38 , it must have been really terrifying for her but she was brave and worked real hard. I miss her a lot too.
I was wondering how sad it must be for you and your siblings not to feel the protection she was supposed to provide. But I am sure she loved you all the same just wanted to know were you and your siblings abused by your steps parents. as I couldn't get it from your post. seeing you so sad has made me wonder if the pain will ever go away from inside me.

No we were abused by our parents and it was horrible. The pain never goes away but I learned many lessons on how to be a good parent. I am sad because I love my children and all children so much I can not understand how a woman abuses her children and lets the dad be an abuser also.It has made me be so wise in every decision I have made in life but an empty space in my heart that never fills.

Oh, that's a sad story. your mother's birthday is same as her birthday?
It must be a really sad event. but still, i hope all her children loved her much and have forgiven each other if they have sinned. there are moments in our lives which we can't tell our parents even though we wanted to tell them, we might hurt their feelings or such. but then simple i love you words can be such hard thing to say. but then, it can be a thing that will really warm their hearts and will give them peace that will bring them in their end life.
