Ever since I was a child, I didn't know my mother. I never got the tender loving hugs and the hair braiding that you had. I never had someone to go to for girl advice, or someone to give me the talk. Nope. Never. My mother left. Gone. Vanished. Poof. I didn't know her, and I never will. People tell me I look like her, and I curse them. Why would I want to look like a woman who doesn't know what it means to take care of her own child? I dyed and cut my hair, wore contacts, wore make-up, but I still looked like the bitch. The only support I have is my father. Although he does his best to bear with me, he slips up a lot. But I must agree my life is going well. Well, before I got that letter.
