Talking to my mom is not something I have done since the age of 12. After my 13th birthday, and my first big mistake as a teenager I shut my mom out of my life. Tonight now 6 six years later, my mother grabbed me with tears streaming down her cheek and told me exactly why i do the things i do. She hit it right on the nose! i Stood there shocked, the only person to ever know why i do what i do was my counselor, and even she didnt figure it out until i told her things about my life. Here my mother was able to tell me why i do what i do without knowing anything, but at the same time knowing everything. For a few breif moments i felt like that little girl with pigtails and her barney pjs sitting on the bed while mom had to tell me about the birds and the bees because some kids had talked about things in school that just blew my mind. And now here i was lettting her read into my deepest secrets that i kept locked with a key. FOr years i have held back from talking to my mother, and magically i got a chance too. It was weird at first and was a little uncomfortable but when her tears fell, and her arms held me tight, and realized the true love that a mother really has for her child. And its a love that i dont want to let go of. NO matter what happens, i now know which road i will take….
