today is mother’s day and i want to share how i really feel about this day
when i was growing up, my mom and i used to be close. i said she was the best mom and we had so many amazing moments we spent together, but unfortunately it all got destroyed when she became a drug addict. i went from loving my mom to hating her with every fiber of my body. ever since my mom left, i hated mothers day and i hated seeing people with their moms. i craved validation and attention from the women my dad dated because i just wanted a mom. i wanted to know what it was like to have a mother without having my junkie mom
i’m 24 years old and i still hate this day, but after some time, i’m super thankful that my dad found someone who is the best stepmom ever. she understands how my mom is and she encourages me to do the right thing, even when i don’t want to. there is a small piece of me that misses my mom and all the good times, but i always told myself that i will someday be the mother i never got
today, i’m wishing a happy mothers day to my stepmom, my grandma, and all other mothers out there.
