Too tired to think of something witty to say...
You know you may not want to tell the coli all of your business... but your life would make for a good thread.I think so too. She chose to make me successful rather than coddle me. I've got some severe emotional issues because of it. But I see what she was doing. It's weird, now that I'm 26 she's trying to baby me. When I was a kid I was furious with her because she was so mean to me and never was affectionate or happy with me. She always pushed me to do better. I remember I got a B on my RC in sixth grade. Lol sixth grade! She threatened to beat my ass. She was not kidding. Next semester I had straight A's. Funny thing is I got into summer cubs because of my grades and EC's in elementary school. That started me on my path to where I am now.
As much I hate my mom I respect her. We have a complex relationship. I think it's because I'm adopted. She adopted me when I was like 6 or 7. So I knew she wasn't my mom. But I always appreciated her giving me a chance. It's real hard to be a kid and spend weekends with families who didn't want me. That really fukked me up too. The foster care is fukked. I felt like a movie people rented, enjoyed for a few hours, and exchanged later. It didnt feel good to see other kids get adopted and wonder why I wasn't selected.
It would help people understand how being in the foster care system and being adopted affected you as an adult.
