You can’t pick the family you’re born into, but you can definitely choose to stay around them.

My family is literally so messed up.I was taken away from my mom at 2 years old because she couldn’t stay off dope. She was in and out of rehab/prison my whole life. I lived with her a total of 3 times in my life and all of those times equal less than 1 year. I reached out to my mom when I got pregnant at 20 years old because I thought it would be good for her to be in my daughters life. I don’t even know if that was a good idea. 🤦🏼‍♀️ her and her side of her family have such fucked up views and habits that way way disgust me. I know she really does enjoy having me and my daughter in her life, I just wish she was better.My dad on the other hand, he used to be a good dad. Or at least I was brain washed into thinking he was a good dad. The dude is 44 years old dating a 22 year old and only MESSAGES ME ON FACEBOOK once in a blue moon to ask me for favors. His views are even fucking worse, and the way he has been acting is embarrassing for me and the rest of his kids. His only granddaughter will never even know him because he makes no effort into trying to see her or talk to her. But shit if he needs something, all of a sudden he’s grandpa/dad of the year.I’m 23 now and I’ve just come to realize how much I dislike both of my parents. Its absolutely crazy how opposite I am from both of these people. It’s super sad because I don’t even go home on vacation anymore because I’d rather just avoid seeing either of them.I’m glad my ex-husband’s family is semi normal because my poor daughter has one fucked up side of the family, and I wish it was different for her. I wish it was different for me. via /r/Vent https://ift.tt/36wOzd5
