Why Do You Hate Me

by Cindy   Dec 2, 2006


You say you "Hate" me how that word hurts.
You make me feel guilty for things I don't do.
To have to live like this is so hard to do.
The hardest part is I still love you.
I feel so unwanted in my own home.
Since Dad died ,I feel like I am on my own.
You call my house yours, like I have no say.
So I always try to stay out of your way.
I try to say "good-morning and have a good-day".
You criticize me for things done the wrong way.
You don't understand me , you don't even try.
That is why I always cry.
I hope you never feel this way, my son.
This is a battle that won't be won.
I hope your children never break your heart.
I hope they fill your life with love from the very start.
I hope you never cry over them like I have cried over you.
Son always and forever, I will still love you.

    Oh, i do not like these ones Cindy. :( a mum should just never be treated this way. she should always feel most love and cared for every day.

    you write so very well about what you go through, and i hope one day he realises how lucky he is to have a mum like you.

    good work xxxx

    This was so very sad, but so beautifully written.
    The emotion and depth behind the words are clear to see for anyone who reads it.
    A wonderful write on such a sad subject.

    I can't relate fully cos i don't have kids yet but i can kind of relate with my cousins and my young sisters..

    "I hope you never cry over them like I have cried over you.
    Son always and forever, I will still love you."

    The beautiful thing is no matter what you love him and deep down he loves you just as much =)
    Keep your head held high
