It's not rational but when someone who's supposed to love and take care of as a child, the child tends to blame themselves and think they will be treated better if they acted properly or won an achievement. Logically we figure out it was all a waste of time but that stupid voice that told us we can earn better treatment lingers and you have to fight it constantly not because I don't know better but because I deserved better and despite knowing it will never happen I still want it.
Why didn't she change her phone number and block her mother's, stepfather's and sister's phone numbers? Just keep her father and tell him not to give her number to anyone. Not rocket science.
Her mother is unbelievable a mother's love is all ways good and kind I am so glade she didn't allow her mother and others live in her home so proud of her standing her grounds wounderful father so loves her and new son in law and new grand babies
OP was repeatedly rejected by her mother time after time, yet Luren kept trying to reconnect with her. What didn't she understand? How could she think she could reconnect so easily? She should have never let Mary move in. It's a good thing the mother showed her teeth because it was the only way for OP to understand that you make the distance, not try to close in on monsters like the mother.
I am glad Lauren was able to adjust her life once pushed out of her mother's house and fit in with her biological father's life. She was wise to kick out her younger sister, Mary from her house in order to prevent her from stealing her fiancé , Eric. Lauren's strong character protected her from her mother who wanted to ruin her life and took advantage of her and husband. Well done Lauren!!!
Unfortunately they do exist, I've had o be a 2nd non biological mom to many of my sons' friends through their pre teen and teenage years, I'm still mom to non biological daughter and biological grandmother to her eldest daughter nearly 23 years old and adopted grandmother to her 6 year old daughter, this now 45 year old woman J has been like a daughter to me for more than 30 years and I'm the only woman that she calls her mom. Now I'm a non biological grandmother to numerous friends of my grandson, my youngest son's child.. These young men have gone though heartache and in many cases abandonment by their own different sets of parents. One young man, whom I gave a 21st birthday party in April this year, lives with husband and I permanently, not a single member of his own family apart from his younger brother attended his 21st birthday party. We are more family to this precious young man, than any other adult in his family. So yes sadly these situation are more and more prevalent as each year passes 😢
Yes people like this certainly exist. Just recently one of adult children's best friend who my wife and I have known for 14 years had a breakup and was looking like having no where to live, Her family offered her a room in a house so long as she gave the equivalent of 2 yrs wages into the Morgage. This with no portion of ownership or ability to recover the money in the future. My wife and I discussed it with our kids and offered her a roof over her head for as long as she needed, She ended up getting a rental because she paid for the first year in cash up front. Her family basically wanted to extort money from her. Because I have known her since she was 9 or 10 yrs old and had her at our house so often I treat her the same as my daughter in most respects, To say i was pissed at her family was an understatement.
