My mom is back

My mom abandoned her family when I was 6 I remember her leaving even at 6 years old I knew her excuse was selfish she told me how important it was to follow your heart and I'd understand when I got older. She left my dad to raise three kids alone while she went to LA to get busy with another woman's man.

There was some struggles, my dad is a truck driver he couldn't leave us alone so he sent us with our grandparents who were mean as snakes. They never liked our mom and took her leaving my dad out on us. I grew up constantly being verbally and emotionally abused by my own grandparents. I still hold that against my mom she knew they were evil and left us to fend for ourselves. We told our dad, he's not the type to get disrespectful to his parents but when we told him he'd talk to them. Nothing changed they did what they'd normally do and wait till he left to start talking shit again. All my dad knew was how to drive a truck he hated the idea of stopping to pursue something else when we had everything and then some. When I was 17 he allowed us to go back home we've avoided our grandparents ever since.

My mom did end up divorcing my dad and marrying the other guy after he got divorced. Word is he didn't like kids that explained everything but he died three years ago. She started reaching out last year it will change nothing because of how and why she left but I feel like I should hear her out. You know see the performance she puts on. My husband is telling me to be optimistic but I'm 29 years old she left when I was 6, she's missed everything on purpose! Then the man she chose over us croaks, she gets to be a mom again and I'm supposed to be excited.

I just want to tell her to her face to rot in hell she'll never get close to me or my family.
