Losing your parents at a young age is very difficult to deal with.
It can cause deepemotionalscars that take many years to heal.
Its even harder if you have no support and nobody to look after you.
But what happens if oneparentdies and the other stops being a parent to you?
At such a vulnerable age, she needed hermomthe most for support, care, and love.
But her mother did not pay much attention to her and instead foisted her upon her grandparents.
She would be absent for the girls parent-teacher conferences and herbirthdays.
The mom wouldnt even make food for her daughter.
All of these experiences weighed heavily on the teen, and she always felt unwanted by her mom.
The experiences that OP had with her mom negatively impacted her emotions and how she felt about herself.
It is estimated thatchildhood neglectaccounts for 78% of all child maltreatment cases.
Children who dont receive parental love and affection struggle with anxiety, depression, and many negative emotions.
When she had two children during the second marriage, she provided them with a lot ofloveand attention.
Despite that, she still did not take any initiative to integrate her firstborn in her new life.
The poster told netizens: She has continued to leave me out.
She doesnt notice when Im not there, or when I spend the night somewhere else.
Thats why OP did not want to babysit her half-siblings.
The child who isnt favored might experience behavioral problems and struggle with their emotional well-being.
Thats why the OP told commenters that she would not be reconciling with her mother.
Its a parents responsibility to give their children a good childhood.
When that doesnt happen it can hurt the kids a lot.
Commenters also rallied around her to show support and let her know that she was right in this situation.
