Mom:
Aren't you glad I never aborted you or gave you up for adoption? Plus she said many other hurtful remarks while I was growing up. I was a good kid, never got into trouble, but not perfect.
I always wondered if I was adopted because Id see my friends parents saying lovely things to them.
Later in life I found out my mom gave a baby up for adoption 1 1/2 years before I was born. I was shocked but the missing pieces to the puzzle were finally found.
She had a very hard upbringing, an alcoholic father, sent off to live with her grandmother whose husband was mean to her. She became bitter as a result. I finally understood it wasnt me she was mad at, it was how she took the wrong path marrying a cheating prick, leaving her with 2 kids then he came back into her life after they divorced and she gave the third one up for adoption. Then she met my dad and had 3 more kids. She was overwhelmed I think. She did her best but couldn't escape her past yet turned to religion which I think helped her. Do I hate her for the shitty things she said? No I love her and miss her, she died in 2017 and I forgave her years ago. 🥀
