what would you say to someone you found crying over their pet dying or an abusive parent

I would love to be able to give your Mother a piece of mind it. It would not be pretty! As how she acted towards you was not Mothering. It just goes to show me how unfit she is! But seek help-a lot is out there. Many will be able to assist you. You may want to ask another family member- that you trust- to get HER help. Mother or not- stay your distance. Just take solace in the knowing that one day you will meed one who be able to take all that hurt and put it behind you . As they will love you , unconditionally -and it ways you cannot yet comprehend.

You may be a changed person because of this- but you may also be a stronger , and wiser person for having this happen to you. Learn from it- and vow to never be as she.

(same can be said for Fathers)
