Well, my mother lives just a few minutes away from me now. She and I have definitely gotten a little closer since I've become pregnant. However, she suffered some financial hardtimes throughout my childhood and as a result, resorted to drinking, gambling, and stealing the identity of her three kids (myself included, which im still struggling to build back from since I refuse to sue my own mother). I obviously had a lot of anger toward her, but I'm trying to grow up and understand where she ever could've been coming from. She also hasn't spoken to her own mother, who lives down in Florida in years for what reason I still don't know. She lost touch with her own family, over financial matters I believe. She has made a lot of mistakes and driven most of the people in her life away. I feel like this is a cycle of bad relationships between mother and daughter on her side of the family and I'm terrified that my relationship with my new daughter will be cursed.
