How to make peace with my mother
It made me
 "I finally have my Mom back in my life"
How I did it: My mother is "old country" values and ideas, very stubborn and at her age unwilling to compromise; she and I have always had a hard time communicating to begin with, but definitely had a falling out to the point that she wouldn't even set foot in my house. I finally was able to talk with her and get her to communicate with me how she felt I had wronged her. I swallowed my pride and apologized. Plain and simple. I was apologizing, not for the things she said I did, but for not understanding her, and for going so long without trying to make peace. Lessons & tips: I had to get over my anger at my mom; I had to be the bigger person and try to set things right because she was too stubborn to "give in". I don't think she will ever take back

Peaceful
How I did it: I tried to remember that despite our ups and downs, my mother is still to be honored in my heart. That was very important in changing how I dealt with her and thought about her. Life has also personally handed me some of the situations that she dealt with in her early life and it made me more understanding. Nothing is worth having a severed relationship with a parent. Even the attempt at harmony makes the situation better. Read how I did it…

Step One

Hi there everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I have taken a first and very pivotal step towards making peace with my mother. After four months of not talking or being with my mother, as the result of some recent trauma, we met on Sunday for dinner. As hard as it was to summon the courage, it was a very wonderful meeting. I encourage everyone out there to take a step this week, month, year towards reconciling with their mother. In the meantime, try this little trick that helped me. Every day, I prayed for my mother’s happiness for five minutes. Its amazing how hard it is to remain angry, sad, or resentful towards anyone whose happiness you are praying for.
