Isn't ready to be a mom and isn't made to be a mom are two different things. My mother was awful and it sounds terrible what those kids are going through. Unfortunately there are only so many things in the world one can control :/ ~
(We all make choices...that aren't always the brightest... Cee & Tori know about my daughter's le father o3o...)
{sends big hugs} I wish I had the ability to take my nieces. I know as screwy as I am, I just would do right by them. I just worry a ton for them. Every summer my parents get the girls for a couple months and I hate that too cause of how controlling my parents are - but at least they're safe. I know everyone has parenting styles and you got to let parents be. . .but still I worry since I don't know what happens there.
Do you have your daughter out of her father's grubby paws now then? Or are you in a shared custody? I just feel bad for any kid that is in a home that has parents who aren't behaving like parents.
I have friends that have kids and of course they're not perfect, nobody is. And they all do things the kids hate -that's part of being a parent and part of being a kid who doesn't see things clearly yet. But the parents have pretty much given their lives to raising their children. My aunt is a good example of that. She was pregnant when she walked down the aisle. She was a big drinker and drug user - she grew up in the seventies lol. When she found out she was pregnant she married her boyfriend who's a great guy for taking responsibility. They both cleaned up their lives for the sake of their children. I suppose I look to my aunt and uncle as an example for how parents should be. And yeah they both even still make mistakes but they always learned from them. Why can't more parents be like that?
