thanks so much to all of you.
i know my mama was so young....she was only 15 when she got preggers with me....so she was a kid, too. my grandparents raised me until i was seven, then she took me and moved over 300 miles from my grandparents.
the time with my grandparents was beautiful....happiest time of my childhood.
after i went with my mom, well, life wasn't at all what i had been taught by my grandparents. i'll leave it at that.
i have to find a way to forgive her. she neglected my sister and myself, but she was always taken care of in the finest degree....at least she thought so.
this visit with her has been very enlightening for me.....looking at her was just like looking at my ex.....it shook me to my core.
