Advantages Shown me what I didn't want!!!

Disadvantages I haven't got a close family.

This is truly about me so if you have heard enough of sad storys of people talking about themselfs. Well then I would click off right now because am feed up with people thinking that am so normal were am from I was born in 1972 here in Portsmouth by my wonderful mother (there's no love loss here) I was dragged up with my oldier bother and a youngier brother.(I later found out that I another oldier brother that stays some where in the south that my mother gave up to her boyfriend as she didn't want him.
Then when I was about 5 she gave up my youngier brother to his dad also as she was finding it hard.(sad old mum)

happy at last
When we were with her being brought up, I would say we were more dragged up than brought up. we had meals made with the cheapiest of things, cloths that were to small for us. but dont get me wrong we weren't poor people my step father worked on contract in the Falklands at six months at a time and only came home a few weeks a year.My mum just loved money so much she only liked to spend it on her home or her dogs.
My brother and I were brought up to be able to run a home at a very early age from cleaning,Toilets,Mirrors ,Hooving,To dusting, you name it at the age of thirteen I was cooking the family meals keeping house tidy .There was no room for going out with friends that I had made at school.My mum was now into the drug seen, and bring these friends home I remember days of coming back from high school and she would be out her face on magic mushrooms.At 14 I could easily skin up a joint. And if the house wasn't kept up being tidy or she was un able to get her drugs she would go mad and hit us with the dog leads that would only leave a bump on the skin.( like when you scratch yourself) It would be gone by the next day.No marks then no questions.

I got married very young to get away from her but that wasn't to change she had a strong hold over me that would take alot for her to let go. Dont get me wrong I love her dearly as she is my mum but wouldn't wish her on anyone.My ex-husband couldn't handle my mum and banned her from the house by this time her marrage was falling through she didn't care she had slept with a few men.Got a face lift not that you could see any difference, and was feeling like a yougier woman we were even banned from calling her mum. you know the thing she didn't like the idea of growing old.

My marrage was feeling the strain and we split up.After trying to take my own life I smashed up my house when our son was with his dad's who was now living with his mum. My over dose falled as a friend found me and was taken into hospital. When I was released from hospital I had to stay with my mother to recover. She wasn't the careing kind she just told me to pull myself together and get on with it.All I wanted was a cuddle but had to get out of her house and climbed through the window and took a long walk home.
Am not proud of myself for doing what I did, but I can't blame anyone for my man having an affair and leaving that was done to me I had become my mother I looked hard at myself walking home and hated who I'd become.
