Dear Mom...

**GG Exclusive** Hey, you guys! This would be my first ever blog for globalgrind.com. Thanks so much for having me. This week has been a little stressful for me with the album dropping but there’s also an enormous sense of relief.

For the past 3 months, I channeled my family drama, personal quarrels, and overall maturation process in the new album. I honestly thought I would go through as much as I have, now that I'm 21 years old. As oppose to the first album, which was crafted for me by the producers, I wrote about 90% of this album and am SO happy that the fans can finally get to see the real Brooke.

Fans have twittered me (@brookehogan), asking me if my relationship with my mom will ever be ok. To ALL my fans, I honestly don’t know. I know the Bible tells you to respect both your parents and I do to the fullest, but my mother has become a different person and I felt the need to tell her that in my song “Dear Mom.” Unfortunately, a phone call just doesn’t work sometimes. Here is some of what the song says:

It's such a shame when someone you were born to love
isn't that person anymore
this one's for you
I love you,
but you gotta change

When you said that you would never change,
was it true
do it to save all we had
would you
how could you give up
how could you do that
why did you leave me
and when you come back
spending all your time with him
you can't even see me

Selfish, what you is
how you mistreated your own kids
how could you do that
I know we don't talk now
how could you turn your back on me
now I'm walkin' out

cause I didn't do anything to hurt you
gave you the best that I can and it's true

I gotta move on with out you
I should've moved on from the pain that I felt
but I choose to love you, the sh*t that you had

it's better to live then love you.

But if your leavin' is that what you can do to your baby
Cause I'm gonna' love you no matter what you were sayin'
how could you turn away
and forget those sunny days
but were they the sunny days
or was it the game you played

Dressed up little doll, that you've torn, it's messed up
how can you be criticizing me when you f*cked up
I never made you cry
I never told a lie
that's all you do to me
so what is you right about

Was I the screw up and you were the best mom
I wasn't that perfect and you took the long road
the road is reversing
the tables are turning
I didn't deserve it
but thank god I'm learnin'

I can just imagine what you're doing...doing with your days
smokin' all your cares away and having a play date
too bad I found out what you were really about
I know it's good to take but momma I gotta say

Get outta my way
stressing me out
momma get outta my way
you and your man can go live at your place
(it's your life)
it's all this sh*t I can't take

cause I didn't do anything to hurt you
I gave you the best that I can and it's true
I gotta move on without you
it's better to live then love you

My album release party is this Saturday so I’m gearing up for that but I’m so happy to join the GlobalGrind community! Thanks again and until next time ?

Xoxo,
Brooke

I've been looking forward to this opportunity for awhile I must say.When I look at a young lady like yourself I see nothing....... No talent.... No brains.... And it saddens me to say,but no beauty either. It amazes me how you seem to be as ignorant as many of the children who grew up with famous parents who have no drive or inspiration to do nothing but ride off of the coattails of your famous father yea believe I said it.But yet and still you go around talking bad of others when you dont have a vocabulary for someone to waste words with you to fuel an arguement.Instead of tyring to become famous from reality shows find another route.Seeing that you cant sing worth or damn nor actSweety I think its time that you found something better to do with your time.Come Son get tha hell outta here help your Dad save some of that money you know he needs it to keep up with that young hottie of his

Hi Brooke,

I have been watching your show and I can totally relate to what your going through. My folks divorced when I was in my twenty's and starting college. My relationship with my parents are opposite of you. I barely have a relationship with my father because of how everything happened. It is interesting how our relationships with the parent that caused the separation is damaged. I didnt talk with my father for almost 3 years and if I did it was very short because I felt irritated to talk with him. It will take you a long time to build your relationship with your mom as it did with my father. At times I find it hard to talk with my father, but I am doing my best to build a relationship. Keep your head up and if talking to your mom on the phone is as far as you can go right now...so be it. When that time comes when your ready to talk with your mom face to face that time will come. I know your mom is feeling hurt because you both had a really good relationship overall until the divorce. But your mom also has to understand that you are hurting. People have this idea that older children should not be hurt emotionally or mentally by their parents divorce. All children no matter what age will have a hard time going through their parents divorce its a fact. So take your time.

HI Brooke and congrats on the new album. I am saddened to hear the choice your mother has made. Even those of us who are older make stupid moronic decisions. Most of those decisions are made not out of love but of a selfish need to suffice for the moment. I am a recovering alcoholic and know i made some truly bad decisions for those 15 wasted years. Sometimes one must face their own mortality to change. I do hope she returns back and maybe she will figure out the true meaning of he word Mom. If you are into poetry check out my page on my space. I have put a couple writing there. In my recovery I am writing about things that i turned away from, Love was one of them, Until i met my fiance. This world can grab us and toss in directions and leave us battered and broken but the good news is that the love of just one individual can take those and tranform that into the mists of the faded past of inconsequentiality and unchain the heart to the beauty of life. Even if your mom does not come back forgive her for making that decision leave it there and don't chain your possibilities to anchors of the what may never happen. Live your life and live it well. Keep a good song in your heart. all my hopes James Jospeh Donald

Oh my gosh brooke, this song is so beautiful and emotional for me. I was that mom, and in the end I realized my faults. My kids forgave me, and now I live only for them and to make up for my faults and pain that I caused them. I hope that your mom will come to her senses soon. I truly truly feel your pain from the bottom of my heart. God Bless you sweetie and keep on shining....

Brooke,

I believe that you voicing your song to your mom is great. Just because we are supposed to respect them doesn't mean we have to support them. I feel as though you have broken out of your shell and are now showing the true woman you can be. You are a great singer and you deserve all the respect in the world. Coming from someone who lost there mother I wouldn't have done anything different if I was treated the way you have been. You mother might be happy but she is not a teenager, She is just acting like one. Congrats to you on your album. Have a blessed day.

I love you brooke, Your music your show & everything, but i have to agree with the comments down there. I mean i dnt know what your going through but from the outside, from what i see, i think u should give ur mom a chance, she is your mom after all. I mean honestly u could of wrote that song, but for ur moms ears not the public. I have sisters i fight w/ & i fight w/ my parents all the time. But in the end regardless ur always gunna have ur fam, if ur career fails and ur fans are gone, ur familys always gunna be there no matter what.You shoudl respect ur mom no matter what and never talk bad about her to teh public. ur mom never said anything bad about u, & if she did u should learn to be a bigger person and show her it doesnt phase u & ur a better person. Good Luck w/ ur album. & good luck w/ ur family..
