im sixteen and this probably sounds kind of dumb but i just realized that motherly love is a real thing. i always assumed it was made up for kids shows. ive been reading articles for the last hour or so trying so hard to figure out what it is that made my mom stop loving me however long ago but i dont like any of the answers theyve given me. i need it to be my fault. there has to be something i did, or else she wouldnt be so distant or leave me alone for so long at a time. i can not accept that i just got unlucky. you only get one family, and right now it seems like i have none. my dad has done unspeakable things, so ive cut his entire side of the family off. my moms family lives out of state six hours away. my half sister sides with my dad, and my mom is extremely distant. i feel bad for my sister. she wants so badly for at least one parent to be good to her, and she somehow chose the worst one. i guess neither are great, but at least one of them isnt a criminal. i wish i had a mom
