I have a deep need to write about what my life was like and how I felt when I was a kid. I have kept diaries and journal-ed a lot and this compilation of my history is something I want to put down. I know it is theraputic and self-expanding and difficult at time to do this but I am even more afraid that if I am honest and the deeper parts of my childhood that were unhappy at best, will really upset my mother. It sometimes makes me feel paralyzed and I freeze on the spot hearing her voice saying "Why are you telling that? Must you bring up these things and betray me like this? How dare you.". I know good writers plow through and I suppose just have to decide to not care one whit what anybody thinks about what they write, they will write it no matter what. It takes great courage. My mother would tell me that I am not a respectful daughter...she'll freeze me out and our relationship would be damaged. Great options. Advise please because the more I ignore it the stronger the pull...something is telling me I must do this. UGH. (link)

Try to push those voices away and keep writing. For now, no one else is going to see this, so you have time before you'd have to deal with your mom. Just concentrate on your story and cross that bridge when you get there.
