She Loves You Unconditionally

So even though you may face some scolding, take heart in the fact that whatever you say won't have such a lasting impact that she stops loving you!

Mom Advice is the Best Advice

Moms are like teenage girls, only way smarter! What I mean is moms understand what you're going through, because odds are they went through something similar once upon a time. That's why mom advice is the best advice! It comes from a place of love and wanting to comfort you, but also of wisdom and experience. Your mom has the answers Google can't provide, which is why you should always open up to her!

3

She Expects It

Naturally, moms do anticipate some amount of disrespect and secrecy to come along with adolescence. But they also expect, from day one, that you will know she is someone you can confide in. With the exception of the whole Santa Claus thing, she's spent your entire life building up trust between you two. In her mind, there's no reason you shouldn't trust her with your deepest, darkest secrets.

4

She Deserves It

More than her expectations, you should always be open with your mom because she deserves it. She's the reason you exist, has devoted thousands of hours to raising you, and loves you unconditionally. If anyone deserves the respect it takes to be fully transparent with someone, it's your mom. Don't insult her by going behind her back or keeping secrets, because she has the right to know the truth!

Save Yourself Trouble

Eventually, secrets and lies will catch up with you, and it won't be pretty. Things will get messy, your mom will be hurt and angry, and you will probably get punished in some way. That's why, if anything, you should always be completely open with your mom to save yourself trouble down the road.

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I could not agree more, and this truly hit me hard. As a child I knew fear for disappointing my mother. But she transitioned to be my mentor and my confidant when I would feel down. When I lost her at 59 to breast cancer, and lost the only one in my life that sacrificed her own issues to console my feelings of guilt and shame

Now caring for my BF who is dying from cancer, I just want a mere look from her to know I am not a lost cause

yesss❤️ hey y’all 🤪

Hey guys

Awesome ❤️
