My mom called me today....

She was in tears when she called...

She contacted me to say, "I'm sorry"

She's finally realizes what she's done to Johnny, Maricella and me. She admitted that she was an "Unfit parent" and that she made a lot of mistakes when my siblings and I were little. She also came to see that a lot of those mistakes involved her drug habits, and she's sorry.

She realizes now that Johnny doesn't believe in consequences for his actions because she never gave him any. She has no control over him because she never tried to be his parent. She let him be the parent. She wishes she could fix that, and she's sorry.

She realizes why Maricella is soo spoiled. She now knows why Maricella threw such a fit over what her boyfriend got her for Christmas instead of being grateful that he did get her something. She gave Maricella everything she wanted when she was little. She didn't teach her to value anything, or anyone. And she's sorry.

She finally started to see that I wasn't just being dramatic when I threw such a fit in order to get out of her house. Everyone in that family ganged up on me. Angelica would do something to make me mad, I'd yell at her, and she'd cry to Destiny. Destiny would go tell Johnny and Maricella, and they'd mentally torture me till I broke down into tears. I'd have no where to turn, she'd say I deserved it for making Angelica cry. She never really understood what was going on because she was always high. Now that she's sober, it's been pointed out to her, and she's sorry.

She's promised me that she's going to try harder to be a better parent for Destiny and Angelica. Good, they deserve better than what we got. And if she goes back on those words, I'll make her sorry.
