I feel like a let down, stuck between looking after an 80 year old mum and a 10 year old son, nothing I do is quite good enough.

Well what would your perfect Cypriot Mamma do for you .....

Spend less time making a fool of yourself on the forum and more time with your mum and son. This simple rule applies to all mothers around the world, not just Cypriots.

Phoenix is NOT making a fool of herself. i think she is asking for support. and she should have another life, not just centered around her mom and child. this was a sexist remark on your part, MR-from-NG. if you don't understand the thread, then shut your mouth and learn, or just go away.

[LENA]

First of all i would like to say that i do have the best mum in the Universer by far...and i can prove it.

Phoenix keep your strength...might be difficult at this time but having a child who will be a teenager soon and a mum who is getting older and needs you more wont make your life easier with house works, job, responsibilities. But think that you have your health, you have a kid who is healthy and I am sure you are proud of him and you still have your mum alive even if she makes your life difficult....my point appreciate what you have because you might loose it (would never wish that to anybody) and you can find worst things out there.

Niki mou good luck with the welcome preparations. I am sure your parents will enjoy Cyprus as much as you do. I am sure they will enjoy the weather and they will be happy having you and your family close to them...if they decided that they want to move there with you that means they were not that happy in UK all alone and they prefer to be close to you and your family even if that will bring some confusion, troubles or leaving back friends. Family always comes first I guess.

GG you do sound lovely lady and as they say there always someone out there for all of us. I am glad you see that your mum loves you. Sometimes it looks like they hates us or they put us down more than our brothers or sisters...when i was younger i felt a bit like that sometimes but having a brother like my son and growing up i realized that a mother loves her children but they might have a different kind of love or to put it better treat them in a different way. As we say in Cyprus if you look your hand you have fingers that belongs to you but are not all the same...and you do not use all of them as much as you use some of them and you might say that are useless or something like that or if you hurt it you might say that is a stupid finger ... but if you cut any of them the pain will be the same...the love you have for them is the same and are all part of you. I am sure you are not the same with your brothers and sisters...as you said your doubt if your sister will take care of you if anything happens but you were going to do it if she had a problem...you might be more responsible from her, you might deal better with worst situations, you might be stronger than her and thats why your mum came to you to take care of her. She might put you down as you said because she wanted the best for you and she wanted you to be happy...from what you mention in the past having a husband in the prison, having financial problems, using drugs....etc things that your mum did not approve ... but she moan and put you down because she wanted the best for you ... if she did not care she was not going to be bothered.

Lena, thank you for posting that story about the fingers! it makes so much sense. i have never heard that one before.
i feel compelled to point one thing out, and that is that sometimes there is NOT someone for everyone out there. it really bothers me when people say that there is. if there was, people would die with other other people to grieve them. there are plenty of people in this world that die alone, and lonely.
i am not lonely, but i am alone.

Oh my god one frustrated tart coming to the aid of the other.

I can read you both like a book, you both show extreme frustration, I know a good cure for that, in fact most sensible adults do. Shame you two don't.

PS, you are a scumbag of a yank, I'm a Cypriot, now tell me which one of us should go away.

i am not frustrated. i am proud of who i am, and what i have done with my life despite the hardships i have had.
i am not taking your bait, and will not resort to name calling here.
a large percentage of this forum is made up of expats. if you tell me to get lost, you are telling them to get lost as well, and we all have a right to be here. i think we are all here because we love cyprus.
so calm down, and take it out on your own wife.

In case you're not aware it is you that attacked me with both guns blazing young lady. You told me to shut up and go away. I have read most of your posts and you seem like a calm carefree type of person. IF I have a personal issue with the Turk/ TC hating individual on the forum that's my problem You had no right to attack me. I don't mind you defending this individual but attacking me in doing so is unacceptable.

if you took it as an attack, i apologize. i just felt your comment to phoenix was a bit sexist. phoenix's views on turks is not what is an issue in this thread.

MR-from-NG you are toally out of order here. You have attacked without provocation and made yourself sound bitter and unpleasant.

You have no idea about these lady's lives or who they really are and therefore have no right to insult them like this.

[phoenix]

I see MR-from-NG cannot resist having a dig at women, because his manhood is too quickly extinguished by the other men on the forum whenever he opens his cesspit of a mouth.

He has again missed the point in his misogynistic rush to condemn.

My point was that I am torn between doing what is best for my developing / growing son and an ageing mom.

I hoped it would draw comparisons between the two beautiful extremes of life, with myself in the middle, struggling like any questioning sentient Being on how to do what is best, when we only get one crack at it. I devote 24 / 7 to this ( I am fortunate) .... but who would say that is enough?

GG, Lena, Bubbles, T_C, (Bill?) and Niki, way to go on providing insight into your experiences too ....

Poor me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I put it down to all the insults Phoenix has been dishing out on us all. It must have had some kind of negative affect on me. What do you think?

I would like to know though why you are behaving like a guard-dog, and why the inconsistency? I've never seen you bark at Phoenix, it provokes and insults member far more than I do.
