I Have Issues With My Mother

As a child I was in foster care a lot, along with my brother and sister. My mother has a bad drug problem, and was a very, very unfit mother. She got pregnant and had another child 6 years ago and I've got custody of her and have had her since 2015. My mother lives one state over, its an almost 3 hour drive and I was supposed to bring Wynter and my other sister who's 18 (she also lives with me) and my two kids over to see her today. We had it planned all week but my sisters, my son and I are sick, so I had to call and cancel our plans. She just flipped out on me and cussed me out. "Julie and Wynnie are MY babies, quit trying to take my babies away from me!!!" I can't even deal with her.

It's her drug problem speaking.

Tell her, "I didn't take them away from you. I took them away from your drug problem."

And please keep remembering you are the good guy here until your kids get old enough to remind you.

You're doing what's right for those kids. That's all you can do and all you have to do. That makes you an amazing person, and I wish I knew you.

@Tabby Well,leave her to it. You're keeping your family together in your own way with support from reliable partner and friends. We can't always get on with family members,and sometimes,it's for the best to leave to the sidelines. Maybe when the girls are old enough to travel alone,they will seek her out,but we both know,that's just going to end in the same way. It's Shit that families are put through this,maybe she's had a bad upbringing,and Is only repeating what happened to her?..
You're amazing by the way...It can't be easy,and you're proving to be a most capable parent and family to your loved ones

Bottom line is no matter how hard you try you are never going to please everyone ... Look after yourself and those you can
