Teenage years
Oh, Mother
“Oh, Mother.” A deep sigh leaves me as I consider carefully what I want to say to you. Your advice stuck in my head forever includes this tidbit. Little lies will always spin out of control and become big lies. That was genius! I let out another sigh as I perform a facepalm.

Dear Mom, I Don't Regret It. Runner-Up in Mother's Day Confessions Challenge.
Dear Mom, I have a confession: One of your most terrifying days was one of my happiest, and I don’t regret it at all. I am sorry for the fear and pain I caused. Looking at it as an adult, I can’t imagine what I would feel like if my child went missing for hours. The police. The AMBER alert. The wasted time and tax dollars. The fear and stress that I caused my family. Even muddying up your new car.

My secret
Hey mom, Here’s something I never told you… October 12, 2020 In online school at the beginning of the year I was doing ok and normally good. But as a couple months passed I started struggling. Yet same time thinking of the people I met online before. The ones you never trusted or always told me were bad guys and could hurt me. As much I was worried and scared I had put that fear way behind me and got connected with them again as times in school got harder. I stopped going to classes at times and gave up on a lot of my subjects along with all I needed to focus on. Yet somehow still managed to do…good? In the end I ended up having my good and bad times. Which is why at times I had seemed to lash out but I wouldn’t have ever meant it towards you. After all your all I care about and love. But in the end I was terrified of telling you and afraid I would get this taken away. I understand if they were bad and whatnot. I enjoyed their company, they made me feel happy and told me they were who they said they were and I remember when you told me that a lot of grown men or women do that. Only one had and she soon came forward to admitting it. She explained how she had trouble in school (public) and how her parents harmed her which they had. So I gave her another chance because I loved her and saw her as a sister. I had a few relationships with some guys as well that were nice at first, one two years older than me. Such a dear. Treated me so kind and loving but soon came to find out that he never meant any of it. Shocked and surprised as I was, I was used to it. Twelve relationships that had failed. I still didn’t give up. Because those I met online were helping me through what I was going through. I know I was falling behind after a year but things got harder and I got more stressed about having to hide this. You weren’t trying to be mean about it either but to protect me from the dangers which I never saw. I saw it as a way of you taking away things I loved doing which was a cruel lie my mind thought. And til this day I still am upset about it, but same time I have no regrets for not feeling bad because of how much this changed me and made me happy. Of course I feel bad for lying but for hiding some people I care about, no. After 2 more years of this and things are still going smoothly but I plan to tell you, I WANT to tell you. Because in the end, your the women who raised me, feed me, gave me everything I could want, and gave me a roof over my head. I’m thankful to have such a caring mother like you in my life and just know when you see this story and read it, I hope you know I never did this to hurt you or worry you more, but to show how much I love my friends. They always been there and helped me with so much. Helped me with work for school, played games with me when I was lonely or hurt. In the meantime you did all the same for me. And told me everyday and night on how much you loved me. Hiding the fact of the thing you told me not to do and over time helps me understand what I need to do the help protect my future kids. And my future friends kids, even my future siblings kids. I want to help change our world from the bad to the good in order to make it safer for the little ones we have alive today. I love you so much mother, more than you could ever know. So much it’s hard to express, and I hope in the future we can share more secrets like this

Words Better Left Unsaid
Hey, Mom? I've always kept secrets from you, but they were always small, little, unimportant secrets. Like if I had flossed that night, or that 'no, it was not me who stole the last brownie, it had just magically disappeared.' All things that would be forgotten the next day, or even in the next hour. As I grew older, my secrets grew with me. I went from crying every night from fear of what lies in the dark, to crying miles away in the dead of night, bleeding with no way home.

Cops Kids and Preachers Kids...
Mom, you were valiant in every arena of your life! You made it look easy, being a single mom while running our household and holding down a full time job that demanded so much of you. Heavy is the heart that wears the badge. When dad left, you went into law enforcement to support your two children and purchase a house on your own; in the 1970‘s, when “Women flying solo” was a cross you bore like a Scarlett Letter; but you somehow made it into a fashion statement.

Just a pill
Dear mom, or Kendra, I'm not sure what you'd want me to call you. The darkest day in my entire life, was in the late spring of 2014. I was only eight years old, so I don't remember the exact date. It was rainy, the clouds just looked like I was awaiting my impending doom, and that's exactly what I felt like.

I'll Take It Off One Day
Day 493 May 12, 2022 A time comes when we've spoken so many lies that they become other's truths. And I know that's how it is with me and the world, but why is it with me and you? I dream of my future, living in my apartment, you come to visit with dad, and we smile and laugh and talk. Actually, talk. A life where you get me, know me, my capabilities and you finally see who your daughter really is.

Moonlight
Dear Mom, It's been 32 years since I entered this world and our relationship began. Poverty, pain, and panic attacks have littered the road, but we've made it! I often reflect on the time we have spent together and the rocky path we have walked to arrive here.

A mom too
Dear mom, I’ve been contemplating… for some time now actually. As a matter of fact, for the last almost 5 years now. I’ve been contemplating on something I feel as though I should’ve been able to tell you, and no one else really. Or you be the first person to know honestly….

Dear Mommy Dearest
Dear Mommy Dearest, I remember the day where I began to look at you differently, I remember the day where my respect for you slowly started to go away and the pain from realizing why cut so deep I never thought we would ever be the same again.
