maybe it's time to think about what you really want to accomplish with your life -- what do you feel is the calling on your life and how best do you think you can accomplish it -- who are your true friends, if any -- what direction should your life take -- what do you need to do to make things happen so that you are accomplishing the greatest good with your life -- it's no fun having family members think the worst of you, especially your own mom -- i was estranged from my mother for several years because she believed i was in an adulterous relationship with a woman (partly true, by the way) -- but the time apart did us some good -- she came to miss me and wrote me some of the best words i've ever heard her say -- since then we have become good friends again -- i'm not saying that the same will happen between you and your mom, but i wonder what kind of effect it would have if you weren't around her for awhile -- would she miss you also? -- maybe she'll wake up to the good things she liked about you -- i don't know, i'm just throwing out ideas since my previous post is almost pointless with the new info you gave us -- just remember to keep your eyes, heart, and mind focused on the eternal things above for those are the things truly matter -- peace and God bless! splash |
