I need help writing an apology letter to my mom

For many years, it's been hard.  I haven't been right with her even though she's trying to help me (I'm only 32).   Our relationship has been estranged.  I want us to close again and try to be family again.

how can we help if we don't know what the problem is? and at your age, should you really be asking an online forum filled with immature teenagers and young adults? i'm just saying

Maybe if you tell us more about what you are trying to apologize for, then we would know how to help. And sometimes I feel that even though a letter is good, talking one to one in a calm situation or place actually helps more. That way you guys can understand what you both are going through!

I agree with the first post.

 

However, If you really one to connect with her again, if you can say it personally the better.

Don't be afraid, just tell her you exact feelings, ask for forgiveness and let it go.

I don't know what you could have done but its all in the past now, and if your mother can't forgive you, then you should move on, so you can focus on other stuff.

Don't be afraid and don't let proud blind you! it's all worth it in the end!

I think you should talk to your mom face to face instead of writing a letter, especially if its an apology you're making.

 

She is your mother after all, and you would know how to go about expressing yourself to her way better than anyone else on this forum. Your siblings/dad are the ones you need to ask.

 

And you dont have to try to be family again because family is for life. Don't take it for granted.

Well, I've been a bit mean to her over the years and mom's been sweet and trying to help me.  She always asks me if she can fix my hair or rub my feet and I always say 'No, no.  I'm fine.'  (but not in a rude way)  Plus, I'm trying to look for a job (it's difficult) and mom wants to help me there and I get a bit frustrated and a bit depressed.  And we argue over silly, mundane stuff.  I usually ignore and walk away.

awww just call her up or something

 

 

guess u would not take my advice since i am immature

No no!!  Your advice is fine.

I have a hard time with verbal apologizes.  I try to say 'sorry', but it's hard.

ONLY 32

Yeah, but I don't look 32.  Most people think I'm like 20 something.

Say what you mean and mean what you say. If you're truly sincere and wish to make up, nothing will work better than the honest-to-goodness truth. 

 

Good luck!  :smile:

I'll try.  Wish me luck.

I know you feel really at a loss with this, but I really think that you should write this yourself.

Maybe you can plan something that you used to do together during happier times? Like maybe watch a movie that you both enjoy watching and that usually puts people in happy moods and then maybe you guys can talk? And if you are sorry with saying sorry then instead of saying sorry, tell her "THANK YOU for your helping me all these years" or just do something special for her like offer if you can help her do the chores or heck buy her some cookies, those always works for me when I want to apologize. I find that when you are busy, words and convos tend to flow better so find an activity to do together. And I feel like your mom understands that you are going through a rough time so don't worry if you can't apologize right away. Take your time and just enjoy your time with her.

 

Hehehe sorry I kinda got all sappy but I really hope that everything works out for you!!  :smile:

there's not enough words can describe how sorry I am for what I've done to you.

I loved, love, and will always love you.

I gave texted an apology to my mom.  She read it and loved it.  She thought it came from the heart and it was genuine.  She requested me to type it and save it on her disk drive.  Since then, no arguments.  :)
