I too know how it is to have a mom who is verbally abusive! My mom and dad divorsed when I was 3. She never came to see me my dad actually took me to her work so I could have 5min. with her. The time I did spend the night with her for whatever reason and god forbid I had nightmares she would beat and curse me! Then she moved to CO. Didn't see her till I was 7 or 8 she still beat and curse me when I had nightmares or cried for my dad. He stayed single all my life and raised me. After the years of visiting her till I turned 13 her and her hubby divorsed. Never saw her again for 8 more years. Then she had the audasity to say how I disgraced her family by having a son at 15 married my Hispanic hubby and OMG all the words and crying she did. For those 8 or so years she was dead to me! Besides all the moms are the best and how I need my mom speech I got from my dad. I did try to patch things up with her and let my 4yr old at the time see her. She was outrageous! I hated her and let her be dead to me for another 7 more years! She finally called a year ago and said she was sorry and accepted me and my family. So I figured fine sounds great! Yay! She grew up and loves me and my family now! I figured hay she has a 9 yr old son. She knows what it's like to be a mom finally! But no! I mean h*** to the NO! She made that week we spent with her the worst week of my entire life! One day she criticized me the next she was happy! Up and down she went for 7 days! Don't get me wrong in front of my kids she was sooo sweet! But alone she was completely horrid! I left and never thought twice about going back or calling her! I do feel bad sometimes and wish we could have something but I feel I've tried so many times I just don't have the strength to do it any more!! I feel for you I do and I wish you all the love in the world. It feel good not to be alone. I still have my daddy!
