Quote From: cndrllaFirst of all, YOU ARE NOT DIRT!!
Unfortunately, not every woman who pops out a baby has the right to be called Mother.
That title is reserved for those of us who treasured each of our beautiful babies with whom we were blessed.........no matter how rough the road was.
I have three wonderful children who show me every day how much they love me.....because from the time they were born, up until this very moment, I have showed THEM how much I love them! It's a lifelong process.
I am so sorry your mother......let me call her an "egg donor".......has given you so much grief...but, please..accept that this woman is mentally ill, and know that it's not your fault.
Surround yourself with those who DO love you.....and let the bad times go.
One day, your mother will have to answer to God for her failures.
First off let me tell you a little bit about my background. I am a 37 year old mother of two beautiful children.
I lost my husband in November of 2006 when he flipped a cement mixer he was driving. My husband died the day before our son turned 2 months old.
Both of my children have health problems. My 3 year old daughter has Epilepsy. Scary experience when she goes into seizures. My 20 month old son has Multi-Cystic Kidney Disease, and has already had one of his kidneys removed.
In spite of all the trials I have been through in the last year and a half I continue to love and raise my children. They are a blessing to my given to my by God. He chose me to raise these two beautiful children on my own for a reason. I am not sure what that reason is but I do not resent my children for that.
I have went back to school to get a degree so that I can find a well paying job that has good insurance benefits. I do not want to have to depend on Medicaid for their medical care. Working at a job that pays anywhere from $7.00-9.00 doesn't make it because one of my daughter's medications is over $7,000.00 for 15 doses.
Despite those hardships mentioned above I survive and provide for my children the best that I can. My children are a blessing to me. I love them without condition and they love me. I know there will be more tough times ahead as they grow older, but with the help from God and my love they will live to lead productive lives and raise happy healthy families of their own.
To all the mothers out there I wish them a very happy Mother's Day.
