My birth mother was never there for me growing up, even during the first five years of my life (when she had full custody). During that time she never took care of any of my basic needs, she was on the run from the fucking Marshals, and my learning disability is most definitely because of her. My dad (who I was closest to) passed away from cancer recently and all she does is put the blame on everyone else (mostly on my dad). My dad is the reason that I actually have basic life skills and I was able to graduate with a regents diploma (my birth mother would've been fine with me leaving high school with a special ed certificate). I honestly contemplate ending my life because of this bitch.
