Mothers.......

Well well well....it's time to open that can of worms almost again this year as Mother's Day is looming. And I mean LOOMING. First off my mom and I used to get along ok, we had our moments but things were good. Enter her boyfriend...things got strained. Let me explain...condensed version:

Mom moves out to Ontario for this guy she had met previously in MB. Ok fine...thought it was ok. Fast forward...mom starts kicking the boyfriend out atleast once a year because he's a beligerant drunk and keeps taking him back. Fast forward again...first time I meet him is at my moms family reunion where in he pitches a hissy and locks himself in the trailer in my Grammy's back yard and proceeds to get wasted. NOONE likes him at this point yet mom still defends him. I then have some problems and end up having to move back in with mom and this f*cker. He and she turn out to drink contantly and contantly fight and when I moved in he decided I was the devil and was ruining his life by me and my son spending time with my mom. I had to call the cops on him once even. Fast forward...I move out. She moves out....gets her own place, things are great. She's trying to change her life....not drinking as much....losing weight and taking care of herself. So YAY right.....WRONG....she ends up going BACK to him. THis is after I find out he used to HIT her etc.

So ya shes moved back with the guy....she NEVER seems to have time to come see the kids now. She lives in the same town remember...and hasnt seen either of my kids in over a month. Keep in mind that the baby is almost 6 months and changes a LOT in a month. My son just turned 5...she forgot his bday until I told her that day we had plans for his bday. She was like OH YEAH. So he didnt get his present until about 2 weeks later. For some reason she thinks its ok to visit my sister and her kids and not us I guess. Which I dont blame my sister at all because she doesnt invite her or anything..mom just shows up.

So anyhow how the hell do I appreciate my mom when I DONT. My life with her in the past 3 years has been a bad soap opera and this year I have had it. She even turned down a great job that would double her salary because HE doesnt want to her to do the commute and come home on weekends thing. NICE....omg....anyhow...thats my mom vent. I dont want to do Mother's Day...well not for my mom anyhow. Bahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
