Mothers remain a convenient missing link
in the germ theory.
If it is not viral or bacterial, it must be maternal.
Janna Malamud Smith
This Powerful Goddess dedicates her portraits to the mother she almost missed knowing, losing her to illness at a very young age. While many of us have been blessed with more years to enjoy ours, others spend a lifetime wondering why they didn’t get so lucky. Excerpts from There’s Nothing Wrong With You by Cheri Huber:
Many adults keep waiting for their parents to parent them. “I want my mother to love me. I want my father to give me what I need.” The odds are very good that’s not going to happen. If your parents could love you the way you want to be loved, it already would have happened.
Only you know how you want and need to be loved. Only you can love you the way you want and need to be loved. If you can’t or won’t give yourself what you need, how do you suppose someone else, who isn’t nearly so motivated, is going to provide it for you?
Almost nobody wants to grow up. It’s too hard. It’s easier to focus on what’s wrong with us and why we can’t do anything about it. Taking care of ourselves means giving up our wish to be taken care of by someone else.
“I want my mother to do it. She should have done it but she didn’t. I’m going to stay stuck right here until…” Until what? Until she does it? But she can’t do it. And she never could. Consider this: If we can’t do it, how could somebody else have done it?
Living from compassion for ourselves gives us the loving parent we’ve always wanted. Click on “Leave a Comment” (top left) to share how you’ve been mothered best. Enjoy!
