How do you know if you truly love someone as a mother?
  • I'm adopted and know both my mothers. Birth mom didn't want me at put me up for adoption and my mother adopted me. Birth mother came around when I was 25 wanting me back even though I'd never met her, I knew she wasn't MY mom. I want nothing to do with my birthmother because she was just a vessel for me to end up with my real mom.

    If you feel that pull from your heart that this person is your mother, then she is ( as long as everyone's cool).

    Worst Holiday Experiences
  • I was a kid and that year my birthday fell on Thanksgiving. The big plan was to go out to see the St. Louis Blues play (when Wayne Gretzky was playing!). Well my 2 year older brother had a meltdown how I wasn't worthy of bring along and he should go. My asshole dad, who never liked me, did just that. He took my brother, on my birthday, to see hockey's greatest player.

    I don't talk to either of them for unrelated reasons but that was a shit birthday.

    Modern life is so tied with smartphones living without it is increasingly becoming harder
  • That's one of the reasons I went and it did help. I had to leave for a different reason. The dry air was amazing, it was like taking a wet blanket off. My mobility went up and my energy up.

    It's worth a visit for sure!

    Modern life is so tied with smartphones living without it is increasingly becoming harder
  • I moved out the western slope of Colorado, to the high desert, after I got an MS diagnosis. I've never had more concentration in my life. I was able to focus without a chime or someone else needing to contact me. Just me and how to move forward. Years later I moved back to the city.

    It took my a while to get back to city life when I left, the busy everything, the phone going off, the lights in the sky at night blocking the stars. How do we all do it?

  • This itself is a meme but the end product would be just a no-meme'n screenshot.

    This creates the problem it's trying to eliminate.
