My relationship with my mother... My Mom and I have always had a positive and good relationship. But over the last few years of my life I think that relationship has gotten stronger and tighter. Before, I kept more of my feelings, emotions and thoughts to myself. I felt as though I needed to keep what was in my head to myself, and that she wouldn't care if I told her or she would take everything too seriously. I kept things these sorts of things from her and that kept our relationship from reaching our full potential. As the years went by I saw more and more how much she did for me. I began to talk more freely around my Mom and our relationship has improved. Now I discuss things more openly with my Mom, when I’m working over thoughts in my head I talk to my Mom about it. I bounce ideas off her and it helps me immensely.

Now we openly talk about the things that happen everyday in my life. We can talk about friendships, relationships and nearly everything else. This relationship has gotten tighter and I have gained a new great area in my life.
