Okay let me give you a bit of background. My father raised my sister and I. Our mother walked out on us when I was 2 and my sister was 5 months old and she left while our dad was at work. Now dad wanted us to make our own choices about her so he let her visit us. Despite the fact that when I was in the summer of my kindergarden year she kidnapped us and took us to PA and allowed a dog to bit my sister in the face and then did not get her treated dad found us just in time because the bite had become infected.
Well over the years she would drop in and out of our lives. When we were teenagers she decided to try and get us back and she played on the fact that we were naturally at the stage of rebellion and we tried to get to know her but she basically treated us like a toy whom she wanted when it suited her. Well now we are both adults and we still try to give her chances but she says our dad has turned us against her which he hasn't. Well today my sister stopped at her house to show her my nephew whom is three months old and her long time roomate answered the door and said she didn't want to get up because she had just laid down thirty minutes before that. And my sis said she could smell the house, which is over run with pets, from several feet away. And it just bothers me that she isn't even interested in her only grandkids yet shows interest in her roomates kids she says they are hers but she doesn't even attempt to call her own kids. And I just don't get it. I wish I had kids I can't imagine leaving your childlren.
It hurts my feelings that she doesn't think we matter enough to even call us. And now I want to find the old news articles from where mom kidnapped us. I guess for a sense of closure. Thanks for reading this and I am sorry it was so long. |
