Replies to 'The Meaning of "Family"'

I am guessing by your message that your parents are divorced. I say that because my parents are also divorced and using the other parent against one another can be painful, and attacking her personally makes her feel bad about her self. Something we sometimes forget is that moms are people too, they have feelings and they value what their children think of them.Also, we all say things at times we don't mean out of anger or being upset. The most important lesson for you to learn from this is that your mom cares for you , loves you. And no matter what you may be feeling at the time you get upset she has your best interest in mind. It's a mother's job to take care of and protect her child. Also, I can remember the excitement of getting my license and a car. Now looking back I realize how young I really was. Maybe your mom is scared for you to drive or maybe she has another good reason for wanting you to wait. I think the best thing would be to tell her you are sorry and talk to her about the problem without yelling. The older I become the more I realize the truth your mom really is your best friend. Not everyone has the kind of mom that cares...don't loose that. Just tell her you are sorry, make her a card or something sweet . Most of all mean it with all your heart. I wish you the best ... remember you have the rest of your life to drive a car, but only one mom. :)
