People are aware I have Daddy Issues (my bio dad let my step mom abvse me and he left when I was six bc he chose her over me and my step dad left due to unforeseen circumstances) and they like to constantly blame all of my issues on my father(s) but here's the thing.
My Mom worked hard on giving me my issues too! She stayed and gave me her issues like I was inheriting jewelry and I feel she does not get enough credit for that.
My father(s) left too early to give me my constantly apologizing and self-worth issues (while he did play into them).
My Mom worked hard to make me hyper independent because she always made me figure everything out on my own.
The bottom line is, my mom is as much to blame as my father(s) for making me mentally ill and fucked up and I demand she be treated as such.
(For legal purposes this is a joke bc the woman has issues too and I know she loves me despite them.)
