Q: Ok so when I was six (i am 18 now) my mom died from Multiple sclerosis (MS), I never really knew her because she suffered alot of the years when I was young with MS and she could hardly communicate and move and do things, I have a few vivid memories of her but nothing really happy. (one memory was she asked me to get her something from the cupboard because she was in a wheel chair and to weak to do it and i couldnt hear her or understand and we both ended up being mad because of it) Well for my whole life I have never really had a motherly figure or knew how to be a girl like the other girls my age , like i try being really girly and do make up and such but i cant do it, my older sister was never really around much to help ... like i get upset all the time and I feel that I am never going to be a normal person because I was "abandoned" like... when I have children i will have NO idea what to do, like my boyfriends sister just had a kid and i was trying to change his diaper and a 12 year old but in and was like "this is to big of a job for you" . I am always upset over the fact that I have had no mother and am totally jealous of everyone who has had an easy life growing up with a mom. I guess i am asking what should i do to gte over this? And please no one respond with "get over it loser" blah blah... i dont want to hear it, i just want to know what someone else would do in this situation.
this isn't really the type of thing that you can get over, no matter how long ago it happened. you can be your own person, no matter what has happened in the past. teh last thing you need to do is worry about what will happen when you have kids. i knew nothing about kids before my sister had one. i spend the summers at her house, and believe me, you learn real quick how to take care of a kid. all that stuff is pure instinct. the best thing you can do at the moment is just go on with your life as best as possible. and one last thing, make-up is not necessary to the essentials of life. im sure you look pretty without it. ^_^
