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.

I am sorry you went through that. I can tell you won鈥檛 be like that. You are already thinking about all of those things and wondering how someone could do that to their children.

My mom abused me as a kid, she was an alcoholic, she didn鈥檛 protect me from the man that molested her, so he molested me.

It鈥檚 okay that you don鈥檛 have her in your life, it鈥檚 better this way. My mom has early on set
Dementia at 64 so I am stuck with her.

You already love your little one so much. You were meant to be a dad.

@iamonfire696 I'm sorry about your mom 馃檨 reading about sexual abuse especially hurts me in a different type of way. Like it makes me sad but it also makes me really angry. I truly want all of those people dead. & The people who allow it to happen are almost just as bad. Because if I could've saved my sister I would've 馃様 that shit will probably haunt me forever.

I wish I could have my mom in my life. I just don't know if it's worth trying anymore. I don't want my baby growing up with a grandma who's on drugs & can't be reliable 馃槖 baby doesn't deserve that. I didn't either but I'll be damned if my baby does.

But thank you 馃枻 & I hope your mom's doing okay these days at least 馃檹
