What Should I Say To My Mother?

[SchizoKiddo]

She left when I was 9-10 and I am finally ready to call her. Here's the issue: I don't know what I want to say to her. There's so much I don't understand but currently stuck on how to even say hello.

If she is even half way expecting the call then I'm sure she'll be finding the words hard to fond too - I's start with a simple 'Hello' and see what tumbles out.

I wish you the very best with this huge step.x

As Lynne said, if she's not expecting your call, the worst thing you can do is to drop this bombshell on her.

Why don't you write her a letter saying that you'd like to get back in touch? At least, this will give her time to get over the shock and to compose a reply without being put on the spot.

Hard to find, sorry

Just say how good it is to hear her voice and you are looking forward to meeting up with her. Then arrange a meeting place . Hopefully then you will be able to talk to her and get some answers.

How old are you? Are you male or female?

I'd do the letter first and a week later call..good luck..I'm sure you'll find the words..speak from your heart...hope you get the answers you need and that it is a happy reunion..x

Well, not enough information here e.g how old you are and if you have missed her and want to know more about her.
It will vary from person to person and situation to situation.
Do you WANT to see your mother?
No big deal if you have done well without her, then don't meet her....it is not the end of the world.
OK.....what to say to her?....." Now mother, sit down and tell me about yourself."
