My father died in 1996. My mother moved 150 miles away and I lived alone as a 16 yr old senior in high school so I could graduate with the friends I'd gone to school with all of my life. My mother drowned in her own sorrows, drinking at bars and coming home with different men all the time. I fell into a downward spiral over the years - drinking, drug use, etc. After graduation, I ended up under her roof, but was eventually kicked out because I couldn't support her. I've since joined the Air Force (been in for 7 years) and have a beautiful family of my own. My mother has never been to any of my daughter's birthday parties. I'm stationed in Germany, and she claims her fear of flying keeps her from coming to visit. There is much much more to the story, but I don't have the room to write about every little thing she's done to disappoint me over the years. I can honestly say that I don't like her, but is it wrong to hate her? Am I allowed to never speak to her again? Please help...
