Darling

Just like your mother, you have a mature mind in the body of the youth.

There is nothing wrong to be mature and intelligent. But we both had something in common, we did not live at home or connected to our mothers well.

You may be luckier as you have a dad whilst I had not had dad since 18 years old.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely for a daughter to gain much of the wisdom about how to live a life from dad, especially a young dad.

Darling I was a one time mother with one time experience only. It meant that I was not experienced, not confident in many ways about doing mothers job. Another fact was that I did not have old close friends in Australia for me to go for about the issues.

Thanks to ten years in China and better communication technology, I connected my school time friendship. I got to learn a lot whilst we lived apart.

Darling, I am more confident now for a mothers role. I wish you do not need to repeat the path I have been through for the role as a daughter and regret later.

Darling, please come home. We can improve our communication so I can be a better mum to you. Please give us the chance.

Love
Mum
