Dear mother,
Happy mothers day. You are why I constantly feel like I am not good enough, you are why I doubt myself, you are why I have been breathing fumes of self hate for such a long time now, you are why I cannot make anyone stay for a long time, you are why I have destroyed myself as a human being. You were the one who was supposed to protect me but you're the reason why I'm in this vortex of pain and you know what, fuck you. I'll be a better mother than you ever were. I'll make sure my kids are happy, and I'll make sure they don't despise me like I despise you.
To everyone who has abusive mothers, please stay strong. I promise things will look better, and that you're so amazing. I love you, and you can do this. You can get out. I promise.
