A retired nurse repeated knifed her daughter after telling her that she ‘doesn’t love her as much as she used to’.
Linda Ann Forrester was seriously injured after her mother Irene, 66, pounced on her adult daughter at her Partick home in January this year.
The 38-year-old suffered a collapsed lung and a broken rib after she was stabbed four times during the incident.
The first time offender later claimed to : "I hope she is not dead.”
Forrester now faces jail after she today pleaded guilty to assaulting her daughter to her severe injury and danger of life.
She will be sentenced at Glasgow Sheriff Court next month.
The pair had been at Forrester's home when she suddenly blurted out that she no longer had the same love for her daughter.
Linda Ann went to bed and said she did not want to speak to her mum.
But, prosecutor Lorri Pidgeon told the hearing: “Forrester returned a short time later with a kitchen knife.
“She told her daughter that she was going to put her out her misery and stabbed her four times.”
A wounded Linda Ann managed to escape the flat into her car before calling an ambulance.
Her mum also dialled 999 stating: "I stabbed my daughter. I hope she is not dead. I'm very sorry.
"She will be dead. I am guilty. It is so bad."
The pensioner was later held by police, who found the knife at the flat.
She told officers: "I did it. I did not want to do it, but sometimes enough is enough."
Linda Ann suffered wounds to her back, hip and arms.
She was fortunately able to leave hospital days later.
Forrester's lawyer Neil Stewart today said: "She believes this is an extremely serious matter.
"She acted disproportionately, but was at the end of her tether with her daughter."
No further explanation was given in court.
Sheriff Alan MacKenzie continued Forrester's bail meantime.
But, he told her: "Custody is at the forefront of my thinking due to the gravity of the offence."
