Dear Mom, Dear Rosie

Dear Mom,
We never saw eye to eye. We can never communicate without arguing. You have always put me down I don't know if it's supposed to make me strong as an individual or what it's supposed to do?
Does it hurt me oh yes, do I show it I try not to but I have so much anger towards you. Sometimes I wish our relationship was better then what it is today, but I'm too stubborn to be the person to forgive and just not take to heart what you say. Don't worry I know what I need to do to be successful and all those times you doubted me and said I will be the one to fail just wait to be the person to be proven wrong. That's the only thing you have really gave me is the inspiration to prove you wrong and anyone else who doubts me wrong.

Dear Rosie,
I'm not the mom who seems to be putting you down. Sometimes I just don't know how to be a mom. Your a great daughter that knows what she wants out of life. When you proved me wrong about being able to get into college I wanted to hug you but I was scared come to think of it I was scared of you not hugging me back. I played if off as I didn't care as I kept hearing you say "Thank god I'm moving out of your house this fall" my heartbroke into a million pieces but I'll never show you that. It hurts to say my little girl is all grown-up now and she's a strong individual. I would of wished we connected and you came to me for advice but you never did, or was it that I always pushed you away. Sorry for not being the mom you deserve or the friend you always wanted me to be but put yourself in my shoes I never took classes for that.
