Did you always want to have children?

I tried to ignore it, and push it down but at the restaurant my mum and God mother were having a seperate conversation as I spoke to my uncle.
Anyways she proceeded to tell her that she never wanted to have children...
I heard it and tried to keep my focus on what I was saying but my uncle seemed to notice what she was saying too, only to stop and focus on what was happening briefly.

My God mother was kind enough to remind my mum that I was a blessing and one that's grown up into something wonderful.

But my mums focus was and has always primarily been on my father.
And the moment she speaks of him, the truth comes out.


I said I wouldn't do this, but with everything that's been happening lately with these guys, it's just reminded me how insignificant I feel...
Why doesn't anyone seem to want me...

That must’ve been hard. Maybe she was just speaking of long before having you. I know a few people who said they never wanted children and did and changed. She had you, so she must’ve wanted you ❤️

@MellyMel22 erm over the years she's used this as a weapon to threaten me into better behaviour.
I used to beg for her to put me up for adoption, or send me to live with my grandparents.
She always used to make parenting me seem like such a heavy burden to bare.
I spent many days being quiet, on my own and out of her way especially when she was in a foul mood.
If mum wasn't happy, I wasn't.

Dad wasn't really around much!

@Mellowgirl I’m really sorry to hear that. You deserved so much better 😞🤍 It wasn’t on you either. I hope you know you’re worth so much more than she makes you feel.

@MellyMel22 things seem to get better with us then she goes and says or does something like this.
I find it virtually impossible to move on...

@Mellowgirl Maybe she does try when she can. Still doesn’t excuse the other times.

@MellyMel22 when you're preoccupied with your all consuming selfishness, thinking about someone else must be very hard. Especially when you brought them into this world.
She must have had a moment of pause that made her forget she didn't actually want this for yourself.
