Thanks Bad Mom
She was the light, the light of happiness, the light that gave everything I wanted, in simple words I saw heaven.
When there was light, there is dark too, it had over powered the light, at certain point the bright days became just a memory. The darker days gave me scars of mental health, the days I wished I died and regret having you, only I know how much I wanted to grow up and escape from you. Despite of all the flaws you are still my Mom, I won’t forgive you, but thank you for making me stronger.
The End.
The title of this piece made me smile but it didn’t take long for my smile to fade. In a few short words you went from beauty to darkness. This was a powerful little story and thank you for sharing it. Hopefully those dark days are fewer now than they were in the past.

Abusive parents are there across the world, without realising they are traumatizing the kids they don’t imagine.

Simon, I’m sorry if this story is your truth. Parenting doesn’t come with a handbook though I often wish it did.
