thought of something today that makes me sad. my mom. she won't even speak to me anymore, I was abused growing up, she would beat me when I couldn't be what she wanted to be. she wanted a straight a student who played sports, size 2 perky girl, I was always a big girl, I starved myself trying to become what she wanted, I played sports, I was a solid B student, I even got a job so I could buy my own things. I never asked her for anything. I just wanted her to love me and be proud. she didn't come to my wedding, and she won't acknowledge that I am pregnant, and she won't be part of my baby's life. it just makes me sad that my child will only have 1 grandmother in their life. My husband knows it upsets me, I just wish she would have chosen to be a part of our lives :(
