Lately I've been thinking about my mom a lot

I told my family about the baby finally 馃檭 they were actually excited which made it cool. But I think about my mom & how she probably won't even know until the baby's already born & she sees pictures on social media somehow.

It hurts me to think about my mom lately because I just think shit like, "how were you ever okay with abandoning your kids?" 馃 Like my kids not even born yet & I already can't imagine willingly leaving & choosing drugs first.

I never really talk about it because I don't remember it anyway, but my mom even abused me as a baby 馃ズ she told me that herself when I got old enough, & when I asked my family about it they said yeah, that's true. She even went on a tv show where she admitted it & had to talk about it. My grandma said she kept it on vhs still if I ever wanna see it but I never watched it.

All I know is my mom said she didn't know how to handle a baby, when I'd cry she'd just flip out & start hitting me. She said she didn't mean to but she'd just keep going, slapping & hitting me over & over. She vowed to never hit me again & she never did ever since then. But now I even think about [i]that[/i] & I just wonder how tf anyone could do that to a baby. How can you physically hurt your own baby? How can you just leave & move all the way to Alaska for YEARS just to party without wondering how your babies are doing? 馃槖

It just sucks because I love my mom & I'll never hate her... but I can't bring myself to talk to her anymore 馃様 there's things I do love about her but all I can think now is how I NEVER wanna be like her. If I ever turn out like my mom then I failed miserably. I kinda fear that.

I ignored it my whole childhood but it really sucks to live your whole life wishing you had a real mom. I guess I still struggle with that. I can't even tell her she's gonna have another grandbaby.. & I wish I could.

Some people are definitely not meant to be parents. My mom abandoned us too, and was very physically and verbally abusive to us when we were little. She keeps in touch with us now, but we keep her at a distance because she's not trustworthy.

@DearAmbellina2113 yeah I get that. Nobody in my family really keeps in touch with my mom because nobody trusts her. I do trust her a bit because she's very honest with me... but I just see her as unreliable & inconsistent.

I agree though, not everyone is meant to be a parent. For me, being a dad is the only thing I've always known I wanted. So maybe I'll never understand our mom's pov
