So you feel guilty about not making more of an effort when she tried to reach out to you? Is that why you want to contact her now? Because you feel guilty?



yes, yes and yes

though she deserved it

I owe her nothing

than why feel like this??


You probably feel like you do because you always wished for something more from her. I'd talk to someone professionally this week if you have a chance. I think they can help you see all sides of your situation and work through any latent feelings you have from her leaving all those years ago.

Try and forgive her if you can. It's one of the hardest things you can do, but our parents make mistakes just like the rest of us. Sometimes they're real doozies, too.

Contact her and spend as much time as you can with her, while you can.



agree



agree as well

once shes gone, she can't talk. don't go to your grave, asking yourself, shoud i have talked to her.



can't say better than this.

and the reason you feel this way is because you are a good person. hold on to that.

Go the distance and ease her pain, Bitterness is for those who have no heart and if the mom who raised you did a good job, You must do Yours.
