I had a disagreement with my mother which made her upset. I admit I was in the wrong and I should’ve listened to her advice but I chose to be selfish and made an impulsive decision. Seeing how it made her feel I instantly felt bad and thought of sitting her down to apologise to her sincerely. I knew it would be awkward as we don’t openly communicate when problems occur and instead she prefers to stay silent and let time pass which I wish wasn’t the case. I wish we could be more open about how we feel and we can both listen to each other open heartedly.
So for the first time in my life I sat her down and expressed that I’m sorry for how I made her feel and I’ll try my best to do better. Instead of receiving a hug or accepting my apology, all I got was her reminding me of all the things I’ve done wrong in the past and the things I don’t do right. I let her speak and didn’t interrupt her once. I was holding back tears as I couldn’t believe I was getting criticised more after apologising instead of receiving forgiveness and being able to reconcile our relationship. I am now completely put off from openly communicating with her about any problems as the first time I tried ended up like this and I’m not sure how I would handle situations like this again. If anyone has dealt with similar experiences or has any advice it would be much appreciated. Jazak’Allah Khair all.
