Can't remember, NLAS. She could have done, it's one of those hugely manipulative pieces of BS. Long time ago she did say that because she was my mother, if I was in danger she would save me (by finding the strength to lift a boulder off me, for example), because that's what mothers do. I think she'd been reading about or watching stories about mothers' incredible feats of strength saving their kids, so I guess she thought, oh yes, that's me, I'm a good mother, and of course, then
had to tell me so.
HAHA. As if the putting something into words sorts it out, all done, as if the words are equivalent to the action! I think they work like that. If they say it, it's as good as done. Except of course when you watch their actions, they don't do anything of the sort. Me and you, we're straight under that bus as soon as one comes along!
Anyone who says your title sentence is being manipulative. When people say that, start running. You don't want to hear it.
Does yours repeatedly call you 'darling', 'sweetie', or another word instead of your name? I think they do that when they've realised they easily forget who they're talking to, especially if they don't recognise you!
