How do I tell my mom I love her?

I’ve always felt odd about displaying affection towards relatives. I feel cheesy and awkward.
The relationship between my mother and I has certainly been tested over the last 5 years or so, but I think that after a year of repair we have been able to come out stronger than ever before.

My mother always tells me she loves me, and it makes me cringe. I do absolutely, without a doubt, love my mother, but I can’t seem to find a way to let her know.

She has always loved my poetry, so I suppose I could write her a poem. Any other ideas for someone who feels uncomfortable saying it verbally?

I feel uncomfortable with telling people or showing them physically as well, but I write and draw. If your mother likes your poetry, I can think of no better way than to use your natural gift to tell her. When I want to express affection for people, I do as many nice things for them as I can. Even if it's something I hate like doing the dishes for my parents or helping my sister practice piano. Have you considered leaving notes in various places she will find them? For example in her favorite book or by the door

Write a nice poem and hide it in your mom's bag. She'll be surprised but I bet she would love it and understand it because she is your mom. Even if you feel uncomfortable, just remember that she is your mom and she loves you. And try to spend some more time with your mom that way you'll feel less uncomfortable around her. Good luck! :)
