A New Experience

by ALICE HILL
(BRIGHTON QLD AUSTRALIA)

I am 36 years of age and Chloe, our daughter is 15 soon.

I can’t tell you how proud I am to have Chloe as my child.

Having a strained relationship with my own mother due to her defensiveness, I can’t even have the simplest of conversations as she always has to disagree or know better.

My mother is an intelligent woman but she struggles to direct any warmth toward the females in our family to which there are 4 daughters and one almighty son.


Our brother is worshipped like you wouldn't believe!
Even people that don't know us well, see it!


Getting back to our daughter: I have an intense, gratifying, loving relationship with Chloe who brings us endless joy!

Her teenage years have changed this shy little princess into a social & fun loving butterfly who tells and shares almost everything with me.

I never expect or want my daughter to be my best friend; I have plenty of friends.

However, I do want a trusting relationship with an honest undertone and an abundance of love throughout what is going to be a wonderful mother-daughter bond.

When I had our children Lincoln and Chloe I was very young.
Yes, I am still with the father of my children for all of you out there that can't bear the thought of teenage mothers.


The first time I laid eyes on our new born son, I felt this overwhelming desire to protect him.

Almost as if someone was going to tear my heart out should something happen to him.


I wondered at times if my own mother had these feelings - you wouldn't have known it ever.

My children are the most magnificent creation for which I am amazed everyday!


I believe as a mother we should only ever offer the opportunities that our children wish to pursue not the road that you would have preferred for yourself.
Our son is attending university and our daughter is achieving well in all area's of life.

Me, well I haven't done to bad either, I have a wonderful husband whom I adore and we own a very successful business in which we both work.


Mother-daughter-relationships can be the most wonderful relationship other than the one you share with your life partner, but also the most out of reach heart breaking relationship you will ever try to maintain…
