As far back as I can remember my mother has always been bipolar. Due to this most of my childhood is a painful miry of Foster homes and courts... I've never known her as anything but. Thankfully at age 13 I was sent to live with relatives which beck a difficult tug of war til I was almost 16. Each time she sent me back to my aunt and uncle for various reasons: she worked to much to care for me, her.boyfriend at the time didn't want me around, ect. This destroyed me emotionally. I wrote her off at age 17 b/c she said she wouldn't come to my graduation b/c her boyrriend wouldn't let her. For years my mother beat me, threatened to kill me (tried once) , was never home, and neglected me to the point my teachers at school turned her in (thankfully). She has no recollection of these events... I do. She showed up unannounced to mive in with me at age 23 which resulted in a very long chain of events. She had been years off her meds. ( which happens each year or two and is a very painful process. As A child I longed for her attention and to have a real relationship. As an adult... I long for her to move away or disappear from my life all together. She made my life a nightmare as a child ( I was described as looking like I had been starved to death at age 13 by my family). I weighed 56 pounds! I still have to file to get her taken to the hospital and am treated like a criminal. She is destroying my adulthood as if childhood wasn't enough....
