[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 499465, member: 3305"] Greenrene, Hugs for the hurt you experienced growing up. My mom had me at age 17. She was abused by my alcoholic dad and left him when I was 2 yrs old. I was raised by my mother alone. She went through a "hippy stage" in California. She moved me around the country 10 X by the time I was in 9th grade. She used pot in front of me...a friend (school teacher no less) of my mothers and my mother bought me a 6pack of beer to "calm me down" on the way to summer camp when I was in 6th-7th grade. I also rescued her from a near "rape" in our living room when I was around 7th grade...after she had gone to a bar and met a man and brought him to our house. I had to tell him to get the H out of our Home! So, yes, there were times that I was "raising my mother" as she was not quite suited for motherhood til I was at least 14-15 yrs old...that is when she decided to change her life, start going to church, let us live in one place and so on. Today she is NOT the same mother that I was raised by. I don't think she can handle all of the truth though regarding our "past together" as she often changes "history" these days. I KNOW the truth though... It was tough growing up with her. A difficult child? Not sure, but most certainly a very immature and non-nurturing mother for half of my childhood. LMS [/QUOTE]
