I know it’s a real mental illness, but with hers, she’s physically attacked me over and over in front of my first born the four years I lived with her as a single mom, and put me down emotionally countless times saying she shouldn’t have had another (me) after my sister was born and I’m a disgrace to the family and should’ve been more like my sister.

Well now I am married, my husband and I have our own place, he’s got full custody of his two making three, and we’re expecting our first together in September. When we first told my parents my mom said I needed help and to be on medicine. I’m a stay at home mom and I did things right this time around instead of just getting knocked up and moving back home. But I try to keep giving her chances. My stepdaughters’ birthday is 2/25. Both share a birthday. The older turning 9, the younger turning 4. Well my mom FaceTimes them today when we’re in the car running errands and so this convo happens on bluetooth in front of all of them.

Aubrey (my bio) said why am I not getting anything and I said the same reason they didn’t get stuff on your birthday, but you might share a birthday with your new brother or sister. And my mom said no no no. She will have her own birthday they’re five years apart. And I said actually six. I said Jamie and Maddie share a birthday exactly five years apart and she said well aubrey will always have her OWN birthday.
