Who in here wasn't raised by their grandma?
Posted by LuckyLibra979Can I get a head count of who was dropped off ok the weekends that turned into full custody? Can I get an amen!
Lol don't be that person
Posted by DreamyboySame here my mom dropped me there and then my grandma died when I was eleven and then my mom put me in foster care when I was fifteen and my dad's in prison.
I wasn't really raised by my grandmother. I believe she passed when I was around 4. My grandfather passed when I was about 15. He raised me somewhat, but I was actually disciplined by him a lot because I was a naughty child. After I was 10, I took care of him for his last 5 years. My parents worked a lot and because of that, I'm not very close to my parents. I was taught how to be self sufficient since I was about 6. Kind of sad now that I think of it when I compare my childhood to my friends' childhoods

Me and my grandma would watch matlock together and she would tell me to go to school and not be promiscuous and tell me stories and I would just pretend to be a grown up and not be to loud so it wouldn't be trouble for her and the. She died from enphasema. She lived in the projects and she would have peeping toms and she wouldn't even be scared. She would

I'm blessed in that I was raised by my mum and dad the whole time. I know I'm lucky.

Posted by DreamyboyYes they taught me a lot and I don't have a bond with her really. She lashes out at me and I can't take the blows emotionally. She gets put in mental hospitals once every five years. It's hard to see the disability unless you're around her on a long term basis. It's emotional immaturity mixed with uneducation and jealousyPosted by Stensco21Thankfully your foster parents were good to you. You said you are a success and you probably learned good values from them. I don't blame you if you no longer want to establish things with your mother again, but if she has a mental disability, she might need you more than ever, but she might not know how to express it to you.Posted by DreamyboyBaciallu when I saw my mom again I was 22 and she would compete for male attention with me.

Your foster parents may not be your biological parents, but I'd consider them my parents if I had the same scenario.Posted by DreamyboyPosted by Stensco21Understandable. The negativity can definitely be too much to bare. Hopefully your mother finds a way. How about your father? Have you spoke to him at all?Posted by DreamyboyYes they taught me a lot and I don't have a bond with her really. She lashes out at me and I can't take the blows emotionally. She gets put in mental hospitals once every five years. It's hard to see the disability unless you're around her on a long term basis.

You said you are a success and you probably learned good values from them. I don't blame you if you no longer want to establish things with your mother again, but if she has a mental disability, she might need you more than ever, but she might not know how to express it to you.Posted by DreamyboyBaciallu when I saw my mom again I was 22 and she would compete for male attention with me.

I'm pretty sure they might be regretfulPosted by DreamyboyShe wanted to go live in a van in a parking lot and Internet datePosted by Stensco21Why did she put you in foster care if you don't mind me asking?Posted by DreamyboySame here my mom dropped me there and then my grandma died when I was eleven and then my mom put me in foster care when I was fifteen and my dad's in prison.
I wasn't really raised by my grandmother. I believe she passed when I was around 4. My grandfather passed when I was about 15. He raised me somewhat, but I was actually disciplined by him a lot because I was a naughty child. After I was 10, I took care of him for his last 5 years. My parents worked a lot and because of that, I'm not very close to my parents. I was taught how to be self sufficient since I was about 6. Kind of sad now that I think of it when I compare my childhood to my friends' childhoods
I do understand that it hurts to not receive positive appreciation from your parents, but how about your foster parents? Were they good people to you by chance?
Mentally fifteen years old. And yes they were sweet ppl.. the foster parents. They prb saved my life.
He's been in prison my whole life and wrote me a letter to say that my mom wrote him bad things about me

Christmas and still don't know about New Years?? But happy holidays to you and all your plans!
My parents were only together until I was like 2 years old...then my Mom had custody of me. Single mom, 3 kids under the age of 5/6, all different fathers...I would get picked up from school on Friday by my paternal grandparents and stay with them until Sunday evenings and they'd drop me back home. My dad would sometimes visit me there Sunday afternoons. He'd buy me a shit ton of things for my birthday/Christmas but as I got older I never felt bonded with him. And after my mom married my stepdad, any sort of relationship my father and I had was out the window. We'd be cordial at family gatherings/holidays and do the 'hi, how are you, how's life, what's new' talk but nothing more than superficial. We haven't actually spoken in about 4/5 years...due to a lot of factors, on my end at least...and I'm not sure I feel the need to reconcile with him. I have a father, or stepfather, who I feel bonded to and have a fairly decent relationship with and if my actual father is going to act like a child, well then so am I...like father like daughter...yeah I know, it's petty. I don't give no fucks.
Anywhoooo...I felt more connected to my paternal grandparents than my father. When my grandma passed away a few years ago it was heartbreaking - she was almost like a 'father' figure in my life...her and my grandpa. At least until I was about 11/12.

Posted by DreamyboyPosted by Stensco21Thank you very much 🙂 I hope you too have a great time with your family and achieve some great resolutions. If you ever feel like chatting again, I'll be around. Pleasure to get to talk with you.Posted by DreamyboyVery very true. I still have a huge wall lol and im going to go see my foster parents forPosted by Stensco21It's not that we are not human, but it's something we grew up not knowing. Especially since you spent half of your life knowing one way and barely going the second half learning a new way. Christmas and New Years is right around the corner! Any family plans and resolutions?Posted by DreamyboyYea I completely get that. I still get talks from them about being distant, but it's still a part of me. I've thought the same thing about my ppls family's. Seeing them call each other everyday or text or send presents.. it's hard to wrap my mind around the closeness still. Makes me feel like not human because I stillPosted by Stensco21Aww you all sound so tightly knit and they were big on food and family time? That's awesome. I never understood Christmas or Thanksgiving until my first real relationship. I couldn't believe how tight a family could be because mine are so distant. It's shocking to enter someone's family and see how well bonded everyone is to eachother. Also seeing how much other family members stay in touch with each other is so warming.Posted by DreamyboyIt was scary, but they were so loving it changed pretty fast. They loved me. Lol they thought I was halarious for some reason. Really adored me. And they were big on church and food. Lol and would take me on trips I would have never got to go on.Posted by Stensco21I can imagine how terrifying it might have been! I get pretty nervous around lots of new faces.
