“...So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.”--Stephen King

Biological Mother
I called her the other night. Sunday night I think it was. We had a decent enough conversation. I figured that since she did give birth to me, that I should be the one to explain to her whats been going on with me since we last talked almost a year ago. I'm sure that her family that I've spoke with have filled her in on some of the details, but I spare all of you the gorey details, and spared her none.
Why did I stop talking to my mother? Its simple: She told me that my cancer and infertility issues were my punishment for me being taken away from her and given to my father to raise. YES, you read that right. She denied saying it. And I told her I wouldn't be calling again unless she appologized for the hateful and mean things that she said to me.
I love my mother. Its not possible to truly hate someone that helped give you life. But I do not like her as a person at the moment. And I'm sure you all can understand that.
I'll continue trying to build a relationship with her. (Not her husband tho, he's an abusive alchoholic.) Because I feel that when I do have children, she has the right to see her grandchildren.
May the Gods and Goddesses give me the strength to love my mother
