Mother's Day - A Tribute (Sort of...)

Lol lol
Oooo dear !!

:( I'm sorry.

My Mom was raised by probably one of the worst people on the planet. She was abused in every way imaginable.

As soon as she was old enough, she left home and her 'family' and never looked back. At one point, she tried to give her mother a second chance (when I was about 13), and her mother was the same miserable, nasty woman she'd always been.

My Mom never really talks about it. She could have turned out exactly like her mother/stepfather, just as her 4 siblings did, but she chose not to. She became everything her mother was not and built the life she always dreamed of.

I hope some day you're able to let go of those bad feelings because all they do is hurt you and hold you back from true happiness. :(

I'm sorry for you and OP

I have hurt in a different way....
My mom died a few yr's ago and Im having a hard time getting over it... Because I miss her terribly every day...
My dad has moved on with another woman( wicked witch ) but Im still stuck missing her....

Oh gosh, not me, my Mom had a horrible mom. My Mom is a truly amazing woman. I couldn't have asked for a better one!

I am sorry for your loss. :( I really cannot even imagine that pain. Just the thought of that happening one day hurts.

I would imagine it's not something anyone gets over. :(

Dear narcissistic c*nt,

You really had your act down for a while. You threw the best birthday parties for us and were always involved with the PTA. You were the school librarian and always made the best goodies for any event.

Nobody could understand why I hated you.

In my preschool mother-daughter photo, I refused to smile because you were sitting beside me.

In my adolescence, you put me on antidepressants that nearly ruined my life. You bought books on parenting that you always made sure to leave out when company was around. If they didn't notice, you'd bring them up. But I never saw you read them.

"It's just so hard," you'd say. "She just doesn't like me."

The day after I was attacked by a rapist on my way to school, you refused to give me a ride. My mom's friend took me, and you called to admonish her for stepping in to family business. You told her I was "playing it up" for attention. Literally the day after the event! She was baffled. How can a mother be so mean?

You've always been so sneaky. Gossiping about me, always under the guise of concern. I can't say a word to you without it getting out, often to the very person I asked you not to tell.

You're always sure to let me know that you relate better to other girls my age, or the special connection you share with them.

Too bad your exchange student, or "replacement daughter", as you liked to call her, won't return your calls. You bragged about her constantly, as if she was one of your accomplishments. But she must see the crazy, too, because she wants nothing to do with you now.

Does it bother you that I don't fall into your traps anymore? That I don't call you nightly to get my daily abuse anymore, to have you sh*t on every achievement or to trample me when I'm down?

And BTW, you're a terrible Grandma, too.

You wonder why the kids don't like you as much as their other Grandma. It's because you're lazy and can't lift a finger or get off your polyp-ridden a** for even a second to play with them.

But I'll call you and tell you Happy Mother's Day today and that I love you. That's just how I roll. I've always taken the high road.

Thanks for teaching me what not to do.

Thank you. No need to feel sorry, though. Scars were left and while I am still in the process of reprogramming myself, I feel good about where I am heading and what I have accomplished since.

I am happy to hear your mother made it out without passing it on to their own children. That is pretty rare.
Smart/strong woman.



Thank you.

I am sorry for your loss. It must be a bit harder on a day like today. Cherish your loving memories.




Ps: These days, good mothers are rare and few and are severely underrated/underappreciated.
