Beat the odds. You know who you are now and you know that you don't have to be at theirs or anyone's mercy. You know how to stand your ground and take no bullshit!

and sadly we have a court system that all too often keeps the children in these situations.

Every species in the animal kingdom treats their babies
Better than some humans. It's deplorable! How sad that God continues to allow these people to breathe.

I will protect my family with all that I have. It's sad my children have these women as options but luckily we have some wonderful surrogate grandparents for them. They also have an awesome grandpa!

The took your child away from you? How awful, especially since they are obviously not doing anything better the second time around.

Definately Toxic...
My mother is not the best in the world either (although she never hit anyone with any garden tools! Jeezzz...) She is more into emotional abuse, telling me when I was young how much she detested me and didn't want me. Later my parents took my daughter from me and are raising her/have adopted her. On my last visit I found out from my daughter that my mom's still having those rages and telling my daughter the same kind of crap about her not being wanted. I had to remind her how hard my parents fought to take her away from me, and don't let her get to you because she DID have a choice about raising my daughter.
As bad as it all is, she's still my mom, and I do love her. LOL...and still want her to love me. But distance has been a good thing.

I completely got your reason and warranted at that!! My mother wasn't the best in fact for years I thought she hated me as did my older sister. Who did more raising of me than my own mother and what she couldn't give me I learned from my world of books...I still to this day believe she never wanted children...well that or would have been happier with boys....because then her love from my father would never have been divided by us girls so she believes. It took me years to bring my self to have a tolerable relationship with my mother...which is done more for my daughter than anything else...because she has become better at being a Nana then a mother....who I love and mainly blame her own mothers abuse for her not knowing how to love her own girls...But it is also what made me who I am. I strived to be different...to not be like her....and for that it's been me and my little one against the world. I have no doubt and I am positive that you too are an amazing mother!!!

I do know that the mothers I write of here are the exception versus the norm. I watch amazing mom's and dad's every single day of the week and I am inspired to be a better parent to my own child. In most cases mothers should be honored and adored and I wholly support that, I just wanted others to understand that I have very good reasons for the choices that I have made regarding these women. My first job is to protect my children and I will do that with all that I have.
Thank you so much and give your daughter a hug from me as well. She has a wonderful mom!

Rest assure.....
I just wanted to say that you can rest assure that there are still good mothers that are indeed from heaven... Your entry about your own mother left me with the need to catch my breath. I read it over a few time to make sure I was reading it correctly. I of course don't know the full history, however it saddens my heart to know that a mother could feel such ugliness to a piece of their very own soul. My daughter is 8...I live, breath, step, jump....awake daily for her. She is my everything. MY soul and reason and purpose in life. For me she makes everything make sense...her hugs, smiles laughter can make any rainy day turn to sunshine!! My heart goes out to you and your sister. Mothers should be loving....the should nurture their girls...and show them life and love with a soft touch. I will love my daughter that much more than I already do, hug her more, kiss her more, tell her I love her more....for every day you and your sister lost.
