I did... just this morning as i was chatting with my mom. And it felt really good. my mom was really understanding towards me and i can see her loving eyes and concern for me... It was about a year ago since i had a chat with her and i saw she was angry then for me, for what has happened or for what was done to me... and i felt happy that i was able to open up to her again. I finally released what was bothering me and i know my mom understand and will love me no matter what.
So when was the last time you had a heart to heart talk with your parents, or your friends that you poured out your heart and you felt better afterwards? :D

My parents are no more in this world.I had poured my heart before God a couple of days ago.As I have said in many of my responses,I have been surrounded with problems for years.Although I have been struggling with all the courage and strength I have,but after all I am a human being.A human being with all my limitations.A couple of days back I suddenly lost all my courage.I was feeling extremely tired and helpless.So I cried before Him.Yes,I literally cried.Tears rolled down my eyes.I was praying God to help me out of my problems.Till now that was the first time when I was feeling so broken and shattered.

thank you else for sharing this with us. I have often done this too, and have poured out everything i have that has burdened me too. =( i often feel the need to do this, when i have had too much of pain inside me. but it has been a long time since i did... I just poured out recently to my mother and it was a burden that i had to release otherwise it keeps on dragging me and i can't step forward. =) i am just so glad i did talk to her and i have opened up and did not hesitate.
In god's perfect time everything went well.

Pouring your heart out without concealing anything is always good.It lightens the burden on your soul and life becomes easier for you.It's really good that you poured your heart out before your mother.On the other hand,I opened myself before God.God is no different from mother.Mother is another form of God.
Thanks for a such a nice comment.

I'm not a person like that. I rarely confide in other person, even my parents. It must be nice to have someone who we can trust with anything we have bulking in our heart. The last time I'm pouring my heart out would be back to my school years, to my pillow. Hehe.

My parents are no more
, but when they were alive they lived with me; we lived in same house, ate together, talked for hours, parents are the most precious possession in this world, one should never disregard them, we hindus consider parents as living god and goddess, they always bless us
Even now i feel they bless me from the heavenly abode

thank you professor for your response to the discussion. our parents will always be our parents and to some, they may not be the type who would listen and openly talk with you.. but since they are our parents they sure love us in their own little ways. I know my mom has blessed me as well and is praying for me. i am sure as you have said that your parents are there for you too even if they are no longer with you.

I think, a few months ago, I poured my heart out to my partner. At that time, I was frustrated with work among other things. It felt like everything was going down hill and when I couldn't take it anymore, I told all of my deeper angst and frustrations to my boyfriend. I was lucky that he was so patient when he listened to all my stories. It was hard for me to keep them bottled up inside me and when I finally got to tell someone about it, especially someone who really cares about me, emotions felt lighter. I cried my eyes out but soon, got tired of crying that I was able to get a good night sleep, and woke up feeling better than before. The sight of me crying was not pleasant but having to release all of those negative feelings really helped me a lot.

thank you penrocker for sharing this with us. it is almost always best when we are able to unload our burdens and it keeps us all fueled up that after we have shared those that bothered us for days or even months we would be free and our family's gaze or look with us with love.. we know for sure that we are safe.

I wouldn't really call it heart to heart. I'm not even sure if my discussion with my mom and dad is considered heart to heart. We usually talk in a funny manner. I mean ... our discussions are often funny and lively. My thinking of heart to heart is somewhat dramatic though. Hahaha!!

As a matter of fact, it is hard for me to confide everything to mom and friends. First of all, I think everyone has their owm primacy which they do not share with everyone, so do I. Besides, how and when to pour out our hearts are also very important, and I am not sure whether I should confide at those situations. In fact, I do not think it is helpful to told people the conflicts between you and others, instead, I think it is disrespectful.
However, I do want to find someone who I can talk with without reservation!

hi there winnie, i hope you would be able to find that person you would be able to trust whatever you have inside you. yes it is quite hard to be keeping most things only to yourself. we should find that person, a family or a friend whom we know will be there for us and will listen to us.

it was more than a month ago and with my sister. although we are provinces apart but every-time i am faced with a concern where i could not trust my own judgement i call her up and release everything to her and at the same time seek her opinion and advice. i'm more of a private person and don't trust telling anybody about my life and although i have several siblings she is the only one that i consult when i needed to unburden myself.

Thank you very much for sharing this with us. i hope that whatever you were able to share with your sister, you would be able to handle and close the issue. it is really such a great feeling that we are able to go to someone whom we know would understand us. =) its always a good thing that we have our family... and friends who will listen and not judge us as we share what is bothering us.

I think the last time me and mom had a heart to heart talk was the night before I got married. She's so happy for me, but she's also scared for me because I will be living away from them. She does think that my husband can very well take care of me and she trusts my decisions. But I guess she's just being a mom. And like you said, it also felt great when we talked. We cried and we hugged but it felt great.
