when i was eleven i sent a nasty birthday card to a 'friend' down the road, because we had put on a play and she wouldn't let me be the lead. then when she complained made a friend lie for me. it's not that major but it always upsets me to think about it.

also i wish i had kept in contact with family members when it wasn't too late.

It's the change ONE thing I would have a problem with. I don't think there is one big regret I would like to go back and rectify - but there are lots of little ones, hindsight is a wonderful thing, a lot of the things I would change were in my youth, so maybe should forgive my self and put it down to immaturity.

I wouldn't change anything I have done.....just the things I didn't do.......

but one thing I would do....and will do always in future if at all possible......is tell people I love them if I do.

i would have liked to have got to know my dear father better, he died when i was 27 too early for me to realise how precious he was.
i was all wrapped up with a young family and struggling with life in general. i miss him so much!

On the day of my mother-in-laws funeral, I wish I had held tightly to father-in-laws hand in the funeral car......................I really wanted to, but was too shy.

That has always played on my mind................a little thing, but it matters to me.

I wouldn't listen to my stepdad...I'd go sit and hold my mothers hand when she died...I was heavily pregnant and he thought it wouldn't be good for me...unfortunatly the guilt I have felt ever since has been been a whole lot worse for me than the simple act of showing my love could ever have been...xx

I understand that feeling...............I was 2 weeks away from having our eldest when mother-in-law died and was too scared to go up to sit with her and father-in-law.

I'm sure you Mum knew you were close to her and understood (((((hugs))))))

a " normal " relationship with my mother, ( which is every childs right ) instead of one full of hatred from her to me and my sisters, 40 odd years on, and still no relationship with her for me, my beautiful daughters and little Kayleigh,
sometimes i just long for a mum who likes me, and thinks im worth something

Sue............................my Mum has Alzheimers too, but if she didn't she would know that dad died 3 years ago and would be absolutely heartbroken.

As it is, she lives in her own reality and is fairly happy most of the time.

It is the family who suffer so much, watching her slowly disappear little by little and becoming a shell of the wonderful person she once was.

((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))) to you.
