Sick of this bullshit.
(( This is Nix talking about her family life. If people talking bad about their moms triggers you, you probably don't want to read it. ))
x-posted to myspace, where I was triggered by the meme in it's original state.
When you were 15, she made you take care of her kids all the time instead of taking them to the babysitter or your grandma's house. You thanked her by having grades far below your intelligence level because you never had time to do your homework.
When you were 16, she refused to allow you to get a job or teach you how to drive. You thanked her by having to rely on everyone else, including government programs, to take care of you, instead of learning to be responsible and independant like you wanted to do.
When you were 17, she started dating a guy around your own age and smoking pot and drinking and gambling. You thanked her by attempting to rebel by dropping out of high school and forming your first potentially damaging addictions.
When you were 18, she failed to do anything about, or even act like she cared, about anything you did to try to get her attention. You thanked her by having a breakdown/breakthrough, moving in with your dad, and going back to school.
When you were 19, she told you daily how useless you were for not having a job and paying her rent and utilities. You thanked her by moving a hundred miles away with your new boyfriend who made you feel like you had some value to somebody.
When you were 25, she lied to you about her and your sisters losing their house to get you to move back in. You thanked her by moving back in, despite having grown to hate her long ago.
When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her. You thanked her by not being surprised and footing the bill for the nursing home.
And then, one day, she quietly died. And everything you never did came crashing down like YOUR HEART. And you realized none of it was your fault, but continued to have a guilt complex over it for at least a few years.
If you have a shitty mom, who doesn't fit this non-existant Hallmark image people like to perpetuate to make people feel guilty about their interpersonal communication flaws, repost this bulletin with your own life experiences, cuz I am sick of seeing these happy bullshit lies in my inbox.
