Essay About My Mother

What can one say about their mother? One may talk about her positive and negative characteristics. There are so many great traits I love and admire about my mom, that it would be difficult and unfair to write about just one. Being strong, generous and optimistic are all some great personality traits, which my mother possesses.

Ever since I can remember, my mother has been a strong individual. She raised my brother and I financially, emotionally, physically and spiritually by herself. My mom gave her all, by that I mean, she worked two jobs to make sure her children ate properly and that they had the essential amenities to grow happily and successfully. Another way she supported us was with love and care. My mom...show more content...

My mom instilled As a child, my mother displayed the seriousness of spirituality. In which she expressed her faith in us at an early age, that prayer time was not the time to make jokes nor to complain about having to partake in it. One lesson she taught us the most, was how seriousness about our spiritual beliefs could provide us with a substantial, stable and structural lifestyle.

My mother's heart is at its purest when giving. I witnessed my mother chip in and pay for people's rent, car notes, and buying them groceries. Although my mother's intentions were good, occasionally, her generosity has been taken advantage of. One time a close friend of thefamily, came to my mother in desperate need. He asked her to loan him a large amount of money, with the agreement that he would pay back in either monthly or weekly installments. My mom never did see the money that was due to her. Despite the incident she still gives and encourages others to give, whether is it a donation, or volunteering your time in your community. My

My Mother

This essay is about how my family has raised me since the day that I was born. Also, I will talk about my illness and the community around me how they have helped me throughout life.

"My family" one of the best words that I love, because my family has raised me since I was born. Coming out to the world and starting to develop my body system as the years move on has been great. Especially, mymother she has been there for me and one of the things that makes me feel great is that she never goes by herself I always tend to be by her side. Even though I tend to talk to her bad, not pay any attention to her makes me feel bad because she is my mother the one that has taken care of me since the day that I came to the world.

Both of my parents knew what was going on during those years they felt very sad for me especially, because I would not understand the situation that I am in. However, as of now both my parents and me understand how everything will eventually change, but we are capable of having fun here in the world because god knows that we can achieve anything.

The last main point is my community, because they were always there for me they never let me do things alone. I remember when I had my surgery I was in bed for a whole week it felt miserable. Not having people coming to see me felt bad, even though I helped them in some things they did not appreciate it. Until one day my neighbors and friends came to see me I felt great, because they made me do everything so I can get out of the hospital as soon as possible. When I got home and the days passed I started to recover from that surgery and got to the routine with the neighbors they helped me in tasks and I helped them back it was good. Thanks to them coming to visit me in the hospital, because if I was lonely chances are that I would even be in the hospital still or something else would of happened. That is why I am enjoyable on having those close neighbors and friends because they are capable of helping one another.

I would want the rep to know how my illness made my family raise me differently, and how my community has also been part of helping me. It will be good for them to know all this because it shows

He said that due to his grave condition he had to be placed in intensive care. That as soon as my brother's condition stabilized, we would be able to see him. My mother was trying to be strong, I could see it in her eyes and in the way she talked. Since time was passing by and we were already tired, my father took us to a hotel and left us there. He then went back to the hospital with my mother. Days went by and little improvement was shown, things were beginning to look good. Nurses informed us that we were able to see my brother.

My Mother: The Best Mother

It took me a few years to realize what an extraordinary influence my mother has been on my life. She's the kind of person who always has time for her kids, always interested in learning something new, would sacrifice herself for her family, and is easily the strongest woman in my eyes. Growing up, I know I haven't been the best son in the world but if you were to ask her, she would say otherwise. Looking back, my mom is the most positive and important influence on my life. My mother actually is an ordinary woman but in her tiny appearance shines an extraordinary fortitude, perseverance, an altruistic soul and is very kind hearted.

Growing up in a poor family, my mother must work very hard to earn her living since an early age. Due to shortage of material condition, she herself has trained an extremely strong will and ability to sedately deal with each difficulty and stand up to move on from her failures. I vividly remember the calamity poured down on my family when my mother' business went bankrupt. We had to sell our house and leave for another town to begin from "zero". This critical time made every member in my family really upset. But it was my mother, the persistent and brave women, strongly stood up and started over again after this great adversity. Each of her failures, her grief, and the way she overcame difficulties to move on has made an indelible impression in my mind, leaving me with precious lessons about the values of strong wills and indefatigable endeavors to firmly confront with setbacks and bravely conquer them. There was time when I felt that there was no more hope in life, that I felt very weary and was about to give up everything. After the constant moving from one place to another and my grades slipping down the drain I was unable to deal with any small problems and felt embarrassed to meet my relatives and friends. However, that was also the time that I acquired from my mother how to learn from her mistakes and developed my own set of tools to take more lessons from them to realize the proper meanings of determination.

She will then sit down with me to discuss what had happened that day at school. It's like my mom has a daily agenda in her mind.

Descriptive Essay About My Mother

In my 16 years of life thus far, few people have influenced me more than my mother. She is the reason I have a life, after all, and I am extremely thankful for her and everything she does for me. Mothers tend to be great listeners and advice–givers for their children. I am fortunate enough to have my mother be a professional counselor, making her exceptional at both qualities. A couple of years ago, she earned a master's degree, became both a school counselor and a clinical counselor, and specialized in helping young people. This proved especially beneficial for me during my awkward and confusing preteen years and remains that way during my late teen years. From conferences and meetings, she learned about how the teenage brain grows and...show more content...

Stress about school, my appearance, my social status, my future, among other worries consumed my thoughts, and I could not figure out why. To satisfy my problems, I came to the incorrect assumption that nothing I did mattered in the long run. This only shifted my sadness from stress about everything to the empty feeling that I was living for no reason. I drifted through the days, attempting to forget about my ridiculous idea, but for some reason my birthday triggered the insecurity inside. I tried to hide my pain, so no one would not worry about me. After a small party with my family, during which I faked smiles and pretended to be happy, my mother approached me in the kitchen of our house. Family tends to stay late at parties, so by the time everyone was gone my father and siblings were already asleep, and my mother and I were basically alone.

"What's the matter?" she said, affectionately. She explained that throughout the day she noticed my sulking around the house, but did not want to confront me in front of our family.

"Nothing," I replied, "I'm fine." Most people would not like to delve any further than that; moody kids are usually not the best conversationalists. She could have used this as a way out and gone to bed and avoid discussing my odd behavior, but she wanted to confirm everything was honestly all right, or rather, discover what was wrong. "Seriously," she persisted. "I'm not going Get more content

Descriptive Essay About My Mom

My mother is a very complicated woman. I believe the best way to describe her would be, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." I know, weird way to start off my literary story, right? As much as I do not like my mother, I love her, and respect her. While I am being honest, I owe my work ethic and a vast majority of my success to her, as much as I hate to admit it. The way she lived her life, most college graduates and the societal hoity toity types would raise their noses to. However, you can't deny her dedication to her children and theireducation, she is the start of my literacy journey. Mymother wasn't always...how do it put this? Let's go with questionable, and she was stable and the picture–perfect mother when she was married to my father. My mother and father thought it would be beneficial for her to stay at home with my twin brother and I. Flash cards were always there, before Kindergarten my mom made sure my twin and I could count to 100, we knew our ABC's, we could write our names, our parents' names, knew our address and phone number. Every Thursday we went to the public library for story time and to pick out our books for the week. Before nap and before bed we would read one of Miguel's books and one of mine, some of the books we read so much that my brother and I memorized the stories. We would even pretend to read those favorite stories. As the years went on and we went to school my mother was super involved. She had all our grades emailed to her,

My Mother In My Life

No matter how hard life gets for me and how chaotic things can become there has always been one person that I can turn to, my mom. She's been a wealth of advice to call on when I'm clueless and a shoulder to cry on when I'm down. Her compassion for others inspires me to be a better person as does the guidance she has given me over the years. She's not afraid to give me a reality check and to tell me the things I don't want to hear even though I need to. She keeps me grounded and teaches me to appreciate the smaller things in life. Even though my dad was still involved in my life after my parents split up it was my mother who I primarily lived with and it was her who had the greatest influence on my life growing up.

Heaven help you if you do anything to endanger her family. My mom also does not go soft on her kids; she can be a formidable disciplinarian when she wants to and will not hesitate to set us straight when we broke the rules. She won't let anybody walk over her and is really quick to anger if you try. My mother is strong–willed and stubborn; when she sets her mind to something almost nothing will stop her and what an impossible feat it is to change her mind on something. She is very impatient; when she wants something done she wants it done at this very moment, no later. She is idealistic and she enjoys the simpler things that life has to offer. She loves nature and would love nothing more than to be living in a cabin in the mountains while listening to country music. She does not pay much attention to news happening outside her local area and prefers to focus on what's happening in her immediate area. From my mother I have learned how to be the person that I am today. Through her I have learned the importance of family and that it is paramount to spend time with them while I still have it. Even now I try to spend time with my family when I have the opportunity to. Form her I have learned compassion for those around me and for animals. Even

Descriptive Essay About My Mother

I could say I have many mentors in my life, but my most important mentor is my mom. A mentor to me is someone who critically guides you through your life decisions and provokes endless learning from their life experiences and wisdom. The only person who meets my idea of a mentor is my mom. I have known her since birth and have always felt loved and cared by her. She gives me every tool I could possibly need to succeed through primary school and onto postsecondary schooling. She has always given me words of encouragement, been honest when I am in the wrong, and has always pushed me to reach my potential. I went to my mom on a Sunday, which is family day in our house. We went out to lunch with my brother since he was visiting from college, and I got the opportunity to ask my mom about her views on Mitch's and my topics. In my conversation with my mom we talked about three topics; A meaningful life, Family, and Education. Mitch's first topic was what it means to have a meaningful life. My mom believes that what it means to have a meaningful life, is that it should not be defined by money or other people's opinions. But rather it should be defined by your happiness and compassion for the things you do in your everyday life. When discussing Mitch's second topic, family, my mom believes that the most important thing is that family is there for you to be honest, and to be critical of your decisions in life. We both agreed they should be supportive of your passions and beliefs,

My Mother And My Childhood

To this day, I can still remember standing at the end of my driveway watching my mother arrive home from the bus stop. This day was different; she was not coming home empty handed. In fact, she had stopped at a yard sale on the way home and bought a prize for me, a doll named Suzy. This memory, from the age of two, embraces the story of my mother and my entire childhood. In Indianapolis, Indiana in September 1980, I was born to a single mother. Throughout her life, she worked for the phone company in downtown Indianapolis. Even though she raised us through hardships and despair, she always took the time to love my brother and me outwardly. Until second grade, I have no recollection of my father visiting more than three occasions. At last, in fourth grade we began to spend weekends at his house and with his family. Sadly, when I was eleven we learned that my father had cancer. One week before Christmas, after a school music program, I read his obituary in the paper and told my mother he had passed away. From that moment, our family forever changed, specifically my relationship with my mother. During childhood, I took enjoyment in reading, school, and the arts. Escaping into books and my schoolwork would be my escape from real life. Since school was the priority in our household, there was little time for extracurricular activities. Similarly, through myhigh school years, determined to make my mother proud, I pushed myself to succeed. Above all else, college was the goal

A mother is someone who can take the place of all others but no one can take the place of her. There are many different definitions you could use to describe your mother. My mother, Pam Krull, fits every one of those. Today I decided to pick the three that I thought was most important to me. I admire and aspire to be like my mother because of how supportive, how selfless, and how loving she is. My mom has gone through a lot to get where she is today.

Parents are one of the most beautiful things that could happen to anyone. They are always there by your side no matter what; they always want the best for their children. They can be strict and protective, its because they love their kids and they don't want them to get hurt. My parents are special to me because with all the hard time that they had to have me and my siblings in their life they still fought for us and didn't give up, even after 17 years of trying. But for me? The greatest of all is my mom. She is the one that I look up too. She is the greatest of all. Simple, funny, strict, protective, but yet she is the best.

Everyone will find a way to leave you somehow, someday, if not today it could be tomorrow if not tomorrow in a thousand years. It's best to keep your weakness to yourself and yourself only, because humans would attack you using your weakness and they could get to you easily. She also always told me no one is your friend except your mom. She says, "Your mom is your best friend". Your mom is your best friend, sister, and your whole life.

She's a small woman, her hair is short and the strands are few but thick. As I put my hands through her soft shiny hair I can almost feel her intense, painful past that she carries on her shoulders melt away. She smells like home and food, bringing back delightful memories of when I would stand on a chair next to her at the stove, as she taught me the secret of how to make our families enchilada sauce. Her skin is soft, from the countless nights she has spent making tamales just to make ends meet.

She is fragile looking, almost as if a fall of a leaf would be enough to bring her plummeting down. I wrap my arms tenderly around her trying to embrace her fully while being as gentle as possible. Yet she is strong of mind, spirit, and soul, she...show more content...

I go to my mother's room, it's empty except for her dresser and the bed she sits on. I look at her and raise my shirt, "What are these?" I asked, her face is cold and severe, showing no emotion. She looked at me, first at my stomach and then at my face "They're called fat marks" she says coldly as she turned away, not giving me a second thought.

I run upstairs to my room, it was in the attic. I try to find solace, but there was none. I could not escape the words that my mother had just said, they repeated in my head over and over again. Warmtears ran down my face, I search the room for something, anything to hold onto, to silence my cries, but there was nothing. I wrapped my arms around myself and cried until I fell asleep from exhaustion.

I look in the mirror to see that my nose and lips are pink and tears are running down my cheeks, uncontrollably another memory jumps into my head. I'm looking for something in the corner of my mom's room that is the unspoken designated area for clothes. I find my favorite white lace shirt, I had found it in a second–hand store. It was the first shirt that I had found and bought myself and enjoyed wearing. It made me feel pretty, which was a difficult task. "I thought I lost you." I said out loud, "What?" my mother said. I turned around to see my mom was struggling to get down the stairs to her room, the pain of the movement evident on her face. I walked over to her and offered my arm and she took it.

My mother is the most diligent worker I know and I highly respect her for that. My mom, sister, and I moved across the globe to find better opportunities for jobs and Education. She worked two jobs as a single mother, and was still able to take care of and support my sister and me in anything we aspired to do. Being a mother itself is difficult enough because it is an everyday job with no brakes or vacation. She is the person who inspires me and the person who motivates me to do my best at everything I do. To her, my sister and I's happiness was worth more to her than her own and for that I truly believe she is the best person in the world. Even when things get hard for her, she does not take time out for herself. During the death of my grandfather, she had no time to grieve over him because she told us that she has work to keep my sister and I fed and happy. That was when I realized that if she is going through all the gruelling effort just to keep me and my sister happy, then my goal in life would just to give back to her by making her proud of me. With her as my motivation I joined things that would make her proud. Freshmen year, I auditioned for thehigh school traveling band, which was a truly challenging band to get into.

Being A Mother : My Life Of My Mother

Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a smile that you'll never forget. By definition my mom is just a mom, but to me, she is a superhero. To say the least my mom has been through hell and back, but clinging to hope and faith she has jumped every hurdle that is placed in front of her. To be half the woman my mother is, will be a true blessing. My mom has one of those laughs that is contagious, one that you can't help but laugh along. She has crystal blue eyes that'll make anyone with brown eyes jealous, long blonde hair, and just the right amount of freckles. Without a doubt, she has the biggest heart and the kindest soul I have ever seen. She would drop anything and everything to help whoever was in need. Her love for her children is indescribable. There was never a time that I didn't see my mom cheering in the stands at every game, coming to every parent–teacher night, or watching at every dance recital.

Growing up was nothing short of easy, attending 6 different schools by the time she was 15 due to overcrowding, moving, and alternative reasons. She was forced to drop out in the eleventh grade because my oldest brother was on his way. "One night can change your life forever."

My mom was 16 with a newborn baby, struggling to make it day by day. Her parents didn't condone her having a baby at such a young age so they wanted her out. "Do you know what it feels like to be so young, so scared, and having your parents want nothing to do with you or the baby you're about to have?" Overcoming all of those obstacles, my parents both went back to school and eventually opened their own business in child care. When I ask my mom what she would do differently in her early life, she always answers with "not a darn thing". Owning a child care center had its ups and downs. There were always those kids who would come in with rags for clothes, and shoes that looked about 8 months too small. My mom had the biggest heart for those kids, always wanting to just take them home and care for them. There was a time when 3 sisters enrolled, all being about a year and a half apart from each other. Their mother was abusing drugs and the boyfriend seemed to be abusing the kids. Seeing the marks and listening to the oldest sister tell stories of

Descriptive Essay About My Mom

My Mother, My Friend It is not easy, moving back home with your parents as an adult. Especially when you are the parent of grown children yourself. Due to circumstances beyond my control, that is what I had to do. Although I had been out of my parents home for over thirty years and had been married (and divorced) moving back home kind of felt like I had never left. I believe that is because my parents were treating me as though I was the unruly teenager I once was. That and the fact I was in MY bedroom. I choose to do my relationship analysis paper on my relationship with my mother Juanita. My mom has Alzheimer's, and communication can be frustrating at times. The three communication concepts I will focus on are, 1. Becoming a better listener, 2, Expressing myself to her in a way she can better understand and 3. Paying better attention to her nonverbal cues. I love my mother dearly, and want to be able to communicate with her the best we can. My mother is one of the most important people in my life. In fact, she is probably THE most important person in my life. She is beautiful, she is kind, she is thoughtful and she is honest. She is a good wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. There is not a mean bone in her body. I have worked for the last fifteen years doing in Home Health Care for Alzheimer's patients and their families, so when my mom got diagnosed I was devastated.

Most of my family photo albums are packed with pictures of me with my grandmother. There she is, bathing me as a newborn, and there again, holding me as a little girl, a huge grin lighting up my face. Her name is Maria Luisa Lishner de Albertis, and though everyone has always called her Lucha, to me she has always been Mami. For every moment of my life, she's been there: every single recital, ceremony, or event I've been a part of; all the home cooked meals she'd wake up early to cook for the family, even now that the memories of her favorite recipes have started to fade; and all those nights in high school when she'd hear me crying from her room, and come to sit at the foot of my bed and speak to me in her gruff yet so sweet voice. Mami has seen me at my worst and at my weakest, and not once has her quiet, under–appreciated love ever faltered. It is October 15th, her 66th birthday, and I'm sitting with her on the couch in our living room, accompanied by my mom, Mossy, her brother, Luis, and various aunts and uncles. She's a small woman, hardly reaching five feet, and she sits comfortably with her ankles crossed, playing Candy Crush Saga. I quickly learn as we start to speak something that probably should have been realized earlier: my grandmother is a woman of very few words. "Mami, what was your childhood like?" "Good," she responds promptly, swiping at her phone screen. "What about your siblings? I know you have many of them." "They were good too." I wait a little

Losing my mother was very traumatising. She was the only parent I knew since the age of three and the one person I knew I could depend on one hundred percent. I was in school when one of my cousin came to inform me that I was to return home immediately. In my gut I knew something serious must have happened to my mother. I do not remember how I got home.

For this narrative, I interviewed my mom, Amanda Lopez. At first, she seems mean. That's very blunt but it's true. My mom is a very guarded and self–reserved person. She does have manners and she is nice but, she won't open up immediately to a new person. She is also very hard working and independent. She wasn't born with these qualities, she went through a lot of different struggles, but that's how she ended up where she is today.

My mom didn't have a very good high school experience. Her mom always moved, which caused her to move. Which caused her to have few friends. She never participated in sports or arts. She mostly focused on her home life and school. Her mom never really supported her. When asked about the future, she state "I never thought about the future, it was more of a day by day, moment by moment kind ofthing. How am I going to pay for this and when will I get my homework done?" My mom had to buy her own clothes, pay the rent at her mom's house, and juggle school work. So, as you can imagine, she had a lot on her plate. Although, she did have support from her aunt and uncle. But, she still had to do a lot of things on her own. "Aunt Terri and I would go to herparent's house and hang out on the farm. We would do every day normal stuff like baking and knitting." Essentially, Aunt Terri was the mom she never had, she taught her basic skills and gave her tips on different things. "They were the ones that came to my volleyball games and made cupcakes for the

Getting to know my Mom It took me eighteen years to spend some quality time with my mother and discover what an incredible journey she has had with my brothers and me. She is the kind of person who has always been very involved with all parts of our daily lives. In fact, she was the kind of mother who always had time for her three sons, worked full–time and had time to devote to community projects too. Her energy and enthusiasm for all of these things seemed endless and she always tried to teach the three of us to see the value in the idea of giving back to the community. I was always glad that she was present at my games and supported me through school, but it took me over a decade to learn what motivated her to be so...show more content...

My mother also says, "...I am pretty sure God intended for me to have sons. I am more of a tomboy than I am barbie doll. I am sure I would not have done well teaching a daughter how to do all the girlie things. Not to mention, when my nieces were little, I noticed the drama began very early on and they talked incessantly." Of course she winks and grins with these remarks. She was like a second mother to my cousins and loves them dearly. As much as she is quick to point out the reasons she loved having sons and why they are so easy to raise, there is more to this story. I can 't count the times she has asked all of us why we need to scratch ourselves all of the time. This is not something females understand. It is not something males really want or feel they need to explain because it is just what we do. She can laugh about it and enjoyed imitating us and asking if we would like to see her walking around the house in her underwear scratching or fondling her parts. My mother was less tolerant of another brotherly trait – squabbling. That was another part of our dynamic which just seemed normal to my brothers and me. We just liked to agitate each other. To my mother this was upsetting because she didn 't want anyone hurt and she wanted to make sure we had good relationships in the future. It was not easy for her to get us to engage in conversations about feelings and relationships. Try as she might, we were most often not did not feel her same

Descriptive Essay About My Mother

Growing up I've always had my mom and my grandmother taking care of me but, at times my mom would always have to work and I hated it. My mom worked late hours or went in early in the morning. Everyday I always wondered why did she have to leave, why couldn't she just stay home with us, was it that hard for her to just stay home? My granny did her very best taking care of us and I loved her so much for that. There was still always this though in my head everyday that i always thought of and that was "would mommy ever take off work and spend more time with us".

Her grandmother showed her all the love and care she need that her mother and father should have showed her and she was very happy that she did have her. Janie's grandmother did anything she could to make sure she was well taken care of and happy. She wanted her to be a successful head in the books type of girl but all Janie wanted was for a man to love her. If Janie had her father to love her like he should then i think she would not be out trying to find it. Her grandmother clearly loved her enough and that's all she needed but that was not what Janie wanted.

Me and Janie and everyone else have been through many struggles but it's always that one struggle that hits you the hardest. The situation with my mother i really didn't handle it to well i was young and i wanted my mommy to be around her more often i missed her very much every hour she was gone, when she came home I was always happy.

My Mother Is My Mom

I view my mother as the outmost magnificent person in my life, and I can't be more thankful to have her. I would describe my mother as a strong and independent woman, my role model; I can't think of another person that means a great deal to me. My mother is the sweetest and the trust worthiest person, but she can also be tough and deliberate. My grandparent's personalities are strict, therefore my mother was raised in a harsh environment, this thought her to be strong and that not everything is easy in life or handed to you. I consider her as the hardest working person I ever know, consequently thanks to her hard work she achieved countless goals in her life. She would always say to me "you have to work hard to achieve your dreams", I believe her. If you knew her you'll be impressed by her strong character, moreover, she is someone that you will admire if you met her and knew her. She makes a wonderful mother and I'm sure she will make a great friend. My mother's name is Lidia Montano Ramos, she was born in La Paz, Bolivia; there she lived most of her life, next to the side of my father who is her husband, moreover now they have 23 years married. If you ever wanted to meet my mother, you could, it's obvious to tell her apart from a crowd. The first thing that calls for attention is her hair, she has wavy hair, s waves mixed with natural ringlets fighting the frizz that could be noticed for a long distance. Her hair is always in a messy low ponytail, but when she is going somewhere elegant she frees her hair and puts it down, you'll recognize the difference. The second point to notice is her lips, they are much the same as a fresh coral pink, the upper lip is darker than the lower. She has a tiny scar on the right side of the upper lip almost untraceable, however, it's most likely that you will not notice it. When she paints her bow–shaped lips, she likes the diva red. Her hair and her lips are traits that stand out the further, she has other characteristics too, although they don't stand out as much as her hair and lips. Her character is one of the strongest assets she has. She treats everyone equally with respect, but if you disrespect her, she will just simply walk away without saying a word. Even though

Describe My Mother

My Mother And Mother

My mother was my primary caregiver throughout all of my childhood. While my father was in the picture for a majority of my childhood, he was also a severe alcoholic which greatly impacted my upbringing. My rules, obligations, and expectations were not always set in stone and did often depend on the time, situation, and/or mood of my parents. I think it is normal for parents to differ slightly in their parenting styles occasionally. As a young kid I remember my sister and I being very aware that the mood mymother was in greatly contributed to the outcome of a question or event. I think most, if not all of us can relate to this. Overall however, I would say that my mother had an authoritative parenting style. My mother made is very clear that she was the parent and in charge, however she was welcoming and understanding enough that I felt comfortable coming to her with questions or problems. My mom was also very encouraging and supportive. She always pushed me to do my best but never made me feel bad if I did not reach my goals. I was lucky to have such a great relationship with my mom, not everyone does. As a young teenager I had many friends who would come to me with questions and concerns because they knew my mom was so open–minded and understanding. My mom was always my parent first and my friend second. I knew what was expected of me and I was disciplined for bad behavior, however I always knew I could go to her with anything I needed. My father, like many addicts was Get more content
