He had to make a decision to either stay in his retirement home or give it up to go back to New York and take care of her. The decision was not as hard as he thought it would be-he was going home. James had always been in conflict with his mother. He never understood why she was always sending him away from her. Over time, he came to believe that it was that she didn't love him as she did his other brothers and sisters. The time spent with her would be the most rewarding and well-spent time of his life. The bond they had built, the questions answered, and the newfound love and respect he gained for her have made him a new man, and the trust she had in God was passed on to him. This is a story about a son who spent nine years taking care of his mother and the bond that was created through that period.

In the midst of their happy home, Carol misses her mother and father. She longs to be with them. But until that time comes around, she learns to surrender to the love that is present. Mama Rose becomes her “home.” And Carol Olivia Clementine concludes that she loves Miss Rose, “just like a mama.” This sweet read-aloud is, on the surface, all about the everyday home life a caregiver creates for a young child: she teachers Clementine how to ride a bike, clean her room, tell time.

Download or read book Don t Ever Call Me Mother written by Helen Martin and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first six years of Helen Martin’s life, living on a Saskatchewan farm in the 1950s, were idyllic. But everything changed when her mother passed away. The sudden and inexplicable cruelty and neglect that Helen endured at the hands of her stepmother—a much younger woman her father married within months of being widowed—are the subject of this distressing, but ultimately triumphant, memoir: Don’t Ever Call Me Mother: Homeless in my Own Home. In a voice that is clear, courageous, guileless, honest, and hopeful, Helen captures the innocence and bewilderment of her childhood. She shares with readers the various ways in which she managed to cope and endure the terrible trauma of her youth. At the same time, Helen uses the pages of this memoir to pay homage to her Ukrainian culture and traditions. She especially highlights the few individuals who offered her kindness and support at a time when she was so often hungry, cold, lonely, bruised, and unwashed: her two older sisters, a couple of neighbours, and an elderly hobo who became her best friend. Such unexpected and enriching relationships make all the difference in a young life and are explored here with feeling. This beautiful memoir serves as both a testament to the author’s resilience and a reminder that childhood abuse of any kind must never be tolerated.
