I don’t forgive you for the way you hurt me during my childhood, Not protecting me from danger or harm, Not keeping me safe, When we used to go to Nans house at christmas knowing full well you’d all start drinking, and you would all start causing havoc fighting and smashing up the car, I don’t forgive you for the way you made me and my brother sit in the back seats of the car on shards of glass whilst you we’re drunk to the point you could smell it miles away.
I don’t forgive you for the constant threats you made to me as a child ‘I’ll smash your fucking face against that wall if you don’t shut the fuck up’ I don’t forgive you for any of them, You made me feel so emotionally unstable, never knew if you would be in a good mood or a bad mood, or violent, If you started drinking, you’d always be in a bad mood. Or violent. The slightest thing would make you tip, unless it was Adam, You’re little golden boy, he could never do anything wrong.
I don’t forgive you for the fact you knew Adam was sexually abusing me at night, and in the mornings, you walked in on him, i was screaming and crying begging for him to stop, or to kill me and take the pain away, You just said “show her who’s boss” closed the door and walked downstairs, why didn’t you protect me mum? I was your little girl, I needed your help. I was meant to be you’re princess.
I don’t forgive you for encouraging your drunken brother to beat me up, for money. For coming round to the house and making me fight. I don’t forgive you for the amount of bust noses, broken bones I got. It was all you’re fault. You never stopped it.
I don’t forgive you for making me miss school all the time because I couldn’t go in to lessons, to afraid to leave the house. You made me feel this way.
I don’t forgive you for leaving my fathers funeral early to go have sex with some random man who I presumed you’d been having sex with before my father died, The only person in my family I actually adored, i don’t forgive you for moving in with this man, two days after you burried my father, I thought you was in love with him?
I don’t forgive you for telling my whole Family I’m a lesbian and then mocking me because of it, at least my girlfriend shows me love and not you.
I don’t forgive you for threatening to kill me on the day of my sisters funeral. You’re a disgrace, No wonder your children got taken away from you.
Mum, I’m sorry, but when I was asked if i would ever forgive you for what you did to me, I simply can’t, you was never there for me during my childhood, you never kept me safe, you never made me feel loved, You didn’t stop the abuse, the hate. You wasn’t there for you’re daughter. I know if i had children, they wouldn’t be writting this blog now, like I am to you..I’ll be a Mum to my daughter. Unlike you.
But one thing i am thankful for.
Thankyou for showing me that, I deserve better…For making my life so misrable and in danger i had to move 300 miles away, and go though suicidal thoughts, attempts and depression, You know why I am thankful for that? Because I met the most amazing girl ever, Whos helped me out of my low moods, who’s been there through the ups, the downs, held me when I’ve cried, Laughed with me, and seen my real smiles. She makes me feel loved, safe, secure. All those things i always wanted. when I lived with you.
