so i found out back in january why my mom always called me independent when i was younger and even now but the reason why she must think that didnt hit me until now. I think it was because I decided i wanted to stop breastfeeding at 8 months and after she started working my dad was the one who took care of me so i grew closer to him dang i kinda feel bad for my mom now because her baby her last born didnt really need her. but she also did some fucked up shit to me too. Pushing her religion on me, fighting with my dad constantly and really stopped acting like a mother and more like a roommate my dad got all my birthday and christmas gifts and anything i really wanted because he wasnt the perfect dad to my oldest sister and older brother so i think he was making those years up by being great to me and i also feel bad for how i treated him when i was 16 damn. didnt mean to bum anyone out but im sure some of yall can relate
