My mother and my grandmother were always not nice to me. I never remember my mother hugging me. My father died suddenly when I was 11. My mom totally ignored me, except for food, clothin etc. I would throw tantrums and call her at work, she did nothing. I felt like an orphan. There is so much I could write.
She & her extended family still treat me like crap..in fact I stopped going to holiday events because as I said to a friend "It is the season for my family's favorite blood sport, criticize & demean Kirby".
