re: Being There For A Parent That Abandoned You And Has Been A Source Of Pain Your Entire Life

Realizing that my mother knowingly abandoned me to be raised by a man that wasn't my father is unforgivable. That my inner circle was made up of 'family' that I did not share behavioral/health traits with, could have been a confusing environment. And she did not care. At All.

Nope.

I would be sociable, but would not forsake one moment of time with my spouse or kids to tend to her needs
