But I still always felt the absence of a mother.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never felt like I had a mother.
During my grief, I realised there was nothing I could do for my mother, but I did have a child.
I never had a mother. I suppose a mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.
I had to go on without my mother, even though I was suffering terribly, grieving her.
I was raised by a single mother.
I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.
There's a feeling sometimes in motherhood that you're alone in what you're going through, and none of us are alone. We're all going through the same thing.
Being a mother was too important to me to risk running out of time.
Being a mother adds another emotional dimension, a feel for children that I didn't have before I had one. They were a pain before.
There's a part of me that never felt my mother abandoned me. I always felt that she did the right thing.
