I would like to call my mother, I'm afraid too, what to expect?

I would like to call my mother I’m afraid too what to expect? Well, Since I’ve had a rough life growing up, and I have a PPO against my father, I would like to call my mother but, I’m afraid too since she’s been hostile toward me, and, verbally abuesive. I’m afraid to call her for I know I’d go right back to thinking about comitting suicide since that brings back memories from when I was a teenager. I don’t want this to affect my counseling sessions that’s taking place through my church. I feel I need to talk to my mother and try to make ammends with her since I miss hearing her voice. What would your opinions be on this? All my family rejects me since they’ve called me names such as retarded, stupid, and, mentally chalenged. I do have a disability which is a visual impairment. I’ve been blind since birth. These are my adopted parents since I came from China to the U.S. I don’t know what to think since In a way, I still love my family but, I have doubts that they’ll change. I’m going through counseling right now to clear this up to learn to forgive them. I don’t want to tell anyone else for that matter since I need extra support. I know my family hates Mormons since I’m the only member of the Mormon faith. I consider the church like family since they’ve been there for me. The church cares for me and, they don’t want to see me hurt by my family again. I’m afraid though to tell my Branch President of the LDS church since he’s a busy man. Anyway, I went over. If you could give me some feedback as to what to do since I would like to call my mother without speaking to my father since the PPO doesn’t allow that.

Answer #1

WEll I will just say this to you, your mother is your mom & no matter what bad things have gone on in yore life with your family she will always be your mother, I had very bad things happen as well and have not spoke to my birth father in over 16 years, and still refuse to, but it would kill me to not be in touch with my mother. As a mother myself I know deep down in side that my kids are my life and even if things were said & done that may have hurt them I did it because I love them, I dont mean beat or abuse, yes things are said out of anger I know this but a mothers love 4 her children is 1 of the strongest love ever, so think hard and see if this is what YOU really want to do if you dont feel comfortable with it, dont do it, but if you just miss hearing her voice deep down inside your hurting and want to be in touch with her. Good luck with it hope all goes well with you & im sorry if this wasnt to helpful 4 you.

Answer #2

I believe I have read this question from you before but again will answer. What does your counselor think? does she/he think that you are ready to speak with your mother? I think that your counselor’s opinion on this would carry more weight than anyone here. Your counselor knows your complete history and what you have been dealing with. Many times a counselor might have a better way to handle this. Perhaps to write a letter first, or some other clever way to protect you from any more pain. If your counselor wants you to do this, then say you are worried and ask if there is a better way to “reach out”
