My mom told me a woman is either beautiful, smart, or both, insinuating that I was neither. To this day, I'm still learning to appreciate and love myself more.

My dad was (and is again) an alcoholic. It was hell on earth being home. After I turned 18 I moved out as soon as possible. My mum was so sad 'cuz I wouldn't come visit that much because of him. It got better for quite a few years but he fell og the wagon and doesn't seem to care about it, even though my mum is filling for a divorce now.

When she was little, my mom split her shoulder open while slipping and accidentally hitting her head very hard on the towel bar of her bathroom when she was 12, she couldn’t speak loud enough because of the pain, and she got her siblings attention by rolling the nearby vacuum on the floor. She had to sit in a dark room for days, to help her head heal, and she had to have treatment for her shoulder during those days.

This is what made me think that exact thought, although it is a little different to everyone else’s, I was a very rambunctious kid, and got hurt so many times, my mom said I almost did this a couple of times

I have pictures of my mom holding me as a baby, cigarette in her hand. I also had an iron crib. She used to put me outside to play by putting a harness on me and hooking it to the clothes line. Granted, we lived in a small rural town but still.

Still a kid, but when my mom said I could have died. What was I doing you ask? I ran into a table. Don’t ask me why, even I don’t know. Apparently i was bleeding a lot and she was concerned because I was sleeping. It was 10pm and I was 6, of course I was going to sleep!

I posted already but a bucket fell on my head once. So my best friend dropped a bucket on my head. I was bleeding and guess what? My mom did nothing for four hours. FOUR WHOLE HOURS! Who knows what was on the bucket?
