No matter what our Mothers were like...it makes us stronger as a person and who we are today.

My mother was in bed all the time and I waited on her hand and foot. To make all matters worse, she was mentally abusive and I didn't have any privileges as a child or teen would normally have. I had to grow up fast...

But here I am. She's the model I don't want my kids to have so I chose not to become her. I push harder to not be like her... and I lived through it...
