My mom is in jail and she’s dienin I’ve had a rough child hood and my mom abanded me andjust left me here and there I’m 17 nowand I’ve grown up to hate her she’s on her death bead dying and shewants me to comesee her but I’m still hurt and mad about it even though it was the past. Help. Please

Answer #1

You should definitely go. When you grow up and become a parent you will never forgive yourself if you don’t go. You will realize how hard being a parent is once you are one. People make mistakes, and we should forgive. After all, don’t we want God to forgive us for our mistakes? Think for a minute if he didn’t…how devastating would that be to us?

Answer #2

I know you already got a lot of answers, but I have to put in my dumb thoughts.
YES, go see your mother. She gave birth to you, respect her.

Answer #3

Your mother wanting to see you, is a way of her saying can we behind us what happend in the past, it is hard for you to understand in this perspective but for her she knows she’s never going to see you again, and depending on how long she’s been locked up for, shes been doing some hard thinking and has realised now is the time to ask for forgiveness.

I also agree with sunset227, regarding regretting in later life, and trust me if that happens you will regret it a lot, speaking from personal experience; because that second chance never comes again.

Answer #4

I know it must be hard to deal with all of that but cant hurt to just talk right?! she prob wants to explain why she did what she did.. there are always two sides of every story you know.. I think if you dont see her and say goodbye and listen to what she has to say you might and prob will regret not doing it. you can always walk away from her if she makes you angry or whatever. but my advice is to go and see her nothing wrong with just talking.. you can bring someone you trust friend, father or sibling with you while you do it… hope I helped

Answer #5

Why bring up the past? The past is the past and it should be forgotten. You’ll regret not seeing her if you don’t go.
