Feel guilty about being mean to mother

    In the past I was copping hassle and was mean to my mum as a symbol of it.
    Now she supports me through so much and I feel guilty. I want to repay her and wish I could erase being mean to her. What's the best way to erase the past(not literally) and make it up to her these days?

    Why not ask her that?

    Because I don't want to remind her of it. It might make her sad. She's done a lot for me and I want her to be happy.

    Just be the best son you can be from now on. A mother's love really is unconditional, so I'm sure she doesn't dwell on whats passed. Speaking as a mum, all you'll need to do is spend time with her for her to be happy :)

    The fact that you care enough to feel this way about it now would probably lessen the pain of being reminded.

    If you still think it unwise to mention it, then just be the best you can be to her from now on.

    The guilt you feel was made by a cumulative effect. The release you seek will need the same small step approach.
