Message: <blockquote data-quote="Natalie1974" data-source="post: 837338" data-attributes="member: 134746">Call me crazy if you will...many people do...but a friend of mine who is a bit spiritual and a little far out at times sent me the following a few weeks back, it's from a book on self healing...not really something that I have any interest in but this was what the author said in relation to diabetes.  I had dismissed it as mumbojumbo until I read the comments on this threadFrom Louise Hay’s “Heal Your Body”:“Diabetes (Hyperglycemia, Mellitus)Probable Cause: Longing for what might have been. A great need to control. Deep sorrow. No sweetness left.Affirmation: This moment is filled with joy. I now choose to experience the sweetness of today.When I think back to the time of my diagnosis I can kind of relate to this in a sense, I had a bit of a strange upbringing and also had an alcoholic father.  The relationship I have with my mother is quite strained but has improved hugely over the last few years...mostly because it is now on my terms.  Like you [USER=167660]@gemma6549[/USER] I used to find...still do sometimes that spending time with my mother stresses me out.  I try to be a good daughter...I want to have a relationship with my mum but I can only manage her in small doses.  For this reason I tend to try and avoid having her visit my house...she doesn't live too far away from me, only a 10 minute drive so I will usually go and visit her so that I am in control and can escape when I find it too much.  I've been doing this for years now...and bit by bit it has transformed our relationship.  I also think that she has mellowed tremendously over the last few years become a lot more tolerable...which has also helped.I believe that our childhoods and parenting have a huge part to play in how we are as people and parents ourselves.  I've been very conscious of this over the years whilst bringing my daughter up alone, she is now 21 and we have a relationship that I am truly proud of...we are best friends in many ways and although we are not overly tactile with one another we are both very secure in our feelings for one another.</blockquote>
