How, I wonder, is one supposed to react to the calm declaration by one of your parents that you were a Mistake. Not an "accident" or a "surprise" or any other euphemism for "the birth control failed," but a mistake. As in, they wish they'd never had you, that, if given the chance they would erase you from existance, as in, you aren't worth the ( Read more... )

I like you entirely too well to blow sunshine and trite nonsense up your ass about this.

I am sorry to hear that such things were said to you. Having a rather impulsive mother meant I heard some similar stuff when I was little, I empathize.

But fundamentally, you know my opinion about your incubator. Mothers, you see, actually give a damn, and have some respect for their children.

Also... if need be, there's always professional help, and I don't mean shrinks. ;)

You're justified to whine. I'm like the queen of unplanned pregnancies and I can't imagine saying to any of my children they were a mistake.

I've often told Beth she was a complete surprise. I've said very frankly that we were young, broke and completelyt scared shitless when we found out I was pregnant with her. But, I also said having her was the best thing I ever did - that I was selfish and stupid and self-destructive, basically a mess - until I became a Mom and having a baby made me grow up. Having a baby made me a better person.

I'd love to travel the world myself. But, it wouldn't be much fun if I didn't have my kids to share it with.

Your Mom is a whack-job Alix. The only thing I can think of to say is remember it's not your fault. You have to know that you deserve better than what she gives you.
