Like my mom she had me when she was 19 and clearly not ready for motherhood. Things that she should have protected me from she didn't and I feel like I went through as saw things that could have been prevented had she been "ready" to have children. I'm not bitter or anything I was just wondering if there is anyone else who wonders how different (be it negative or positive) life would have been for them if they had a different mother. Please do not be rude and feel free to elaborate.

I used to wonder what life would be like if I had a different mother. I would imagine my life being better in a lot of ways. That was before my mother died. Now I am grateful that she was my mother. Everyone wishes their childhood was different, but the fact is once you grow up you have to become the parent you never had, to yourself.

I wish I had a different mother because mine doesn't care about me at all. Never has. I was homeless for about three weeks had the opportunity to start a job asked her if I could come and stay the night at her house so I could bath and go to my job training, she would not allow me She took me to the next town and dropped me off and told me to fend for my self, she passed by me every day on her way to work I was staying at the local park. I don't think she even cares about me at all and this was just a list of many things she has done through out my life, My sister on the other hand she has let move in and out so many times and she has talked to my mother like a dog, I have never even told her that I hated her, I always went out of my way to be nice, so now I don't even talk to her at all.

Great question! When growing up, I used to pretend I was adopted but as I got older, realized that God has a plan for everything & there are no accidents or mistakes, so I tried to appreciate her for who she was and concentrate on the postive she brought to my life. I really don't like her but I look a lot like her and that really bothers me, but I am very different than her so I guess that's the way it goes! That's life in the big city!

I do. I had an okay childhood, better than a lot sometimes. But we always look to see what could have been better. A richer family, a more loving family, etc.
At the end of it all, I am grateful to my mother who did housekeeping to send my brother, sisters and I to college while sacrificing herself.
We did not have all the luxuries but enough to live.

I feel that you should thank god that things wasnt worser. There are some kids out her that have been to hell and back. I understand how you feel but god do things for a reason honey. And it could have happened to make you a stronger women. Your entire life was mapped out before you actually had a life and only god knows what could have been so be thankful and love her even more

things always seem better elsewhere when things aren't what you want at the time...there is a saying of be careful for what you wish for, its good you aren't bitter but sometimes our life expereinces help become who we are in the future...take whatever bad experiences you have had and learn from it and move on if possible, I bet your Mom wouldn't want to imagine life without you
