I’m thinking about inviting my mother to my 18th birthday but my best friend doesn’t think it’s a great idea. What do you think?
My mom abandoned my dad and I back in early-mid 2010 when I was 7 and my dad flat out told me that she wasn’t coming back. I screamed and said she is. But she never came back. I threw temper tantrums because I wanted mom so bad.
Anyways so my 18th birthday is in October and I want to invite my absent mother to my social distancing birthday party. I didn’t tell my family because I know how they would react. I sent her a letter yesterday. My best friend told me, “Are you should that’s a great idea Layla? Do you REALLY think your mother is going to come? You gotta be careful because she has disappointed and let you down so many times. Just don’t expect her to come. I just can see you go though this again and the woman only thinks of herself.” I couldn’t believe what he said. I was hoping he would be happy. My mom missed out on most of my life. My 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th birthdays she missed.
I don’t want her to miss my 18th. I called and texted her about it.
