Wonderful daughter... NOT

[L]

As far as being a mother, you probably did the best you could at that time.  None of us are perfect mothers.  I was also a young mom like you, but I had supportive parents who helped me financially and I was able to move back in with them with my DD when it didn't work out with my husband.  My mom and I were very close and had a wonderful relationship.   But, you said you came from a broken home and parents were messed up, so it was harder for you. 

I hope things get better.  Sending prayers.

Thanks, M.

You, like all of the rest of us, did your best. That's all any of us have to give. I think it would serve you to stop giving her any opportunity to abuse you further. You deserve so much better. Give it to yourself! Sending love...
