I want a mother who trusts and respects me.

She used to. I managed their store. I was entrusted and allowed some decisions.

I was even trusted as a teenager. I was left alone all summer.

It's really gotten much worse now in her old age. She doesn't trust anybody. She doesn't respect anybody. She's confused and making stupid choices.

I pleaded with the rest of the family, but they won't hear it.

She's been really stupid with her life. She manipulated me and my h financially in a really nasty way. Had she just been adult and honest (my dad too), we'd all be in a much better place.

I really don't miss her now. All she does is complain.

I miss who she once was. That woman is gone.
