My dad's said something similar before. It hurts, it hurts bad when you hear it from a parent; you know the ****er that gave you life. I'm sorry she's too much of a sadistic bastard to realize how kind and comforting her kid is. How her kid helped this kid (that's right, me) more than once when I've been low. She can't see that, fine. She doesn't deserve to. **** her. She's a god damn birth giver, not a mother if that's how she treats you. "Mother" is earned, not applied by right. It's a privilege she shouldn't have.
