My mom has made it possible for me to be who I am. Our family is everything. Her greatest skill was encouraging me to find my own person and own independence.

I forgive my mom for being a psycho and my dad for being a loser.

It is a sad commentary of our times when our young must seek advice and counsel from 'Dear Abby' instead of going to Mom and Dad.

I hear my friends and my mom tell me I'm special, but honestly, I still don't get it.

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.
