My mother was wonderful. I ended up in emergency twice rabidly psychotic and she took me in and said she’d look after me instead of going to the wards. So a house full of people and a psychotic adult but I’m glad she did that. She also helped me move overseas and provided a lot of financial support even though they were pretty poor.
I owe a lot to my great mother and still help out by staying at dads and help paying all the bills!
My mother was pretty awful. Don’t even want to remember. She’s slightly better now. At least now she tries.
My parents were undiagnosed too. My dad has schizoaffective disorder diagnosed about 6 years ago. My mom is bipolar also not diagnosed until later in life. They fought a lot and drank and used drugs to cope. I remember growing up and there not being any food in the fridge but there was always beer. My mom would send me out to the dealer’s car to hand them the money and get their drugs. I do blame my parents for part of the reason why I’m so screwed up
Wow cbbrown that is horrible. I’m sorry. Only my mom had mental illness. My dad is a wonderful person but he used to be an alcoholic but has been sober for a couple of years now, but he was a nice alcoholic and never did anything harder than vodka.
All ten of them were pretty cool.
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to imply anything about your dad. I’m over it. I worry about them to be honest. They aren’t usually med compliant. They stop after a few months sometimes in a week.
Ì love my mom. We haven’t always seen eye to eye but as we both get older we get along super well. It’s her birthday today
Happy Birthday @FatMama’s Mom! 
It’s fine I know you were just talking about your parents
My mother got a lot to do with my mental illnes. I don’t like do dig out what i buried. Wish my mother would have ask herself what wrong with her instead she projected her illness onto me. After 25 years in her care with the help of psychiatry she got me where she wanted.
My mom was overprotective, which is terrible because we learn by doing things. “Don’t do this, you’ll get hurt.” “Don’t do that, you’ll get hurt.”
Took me a long time to overcome.
Probably not a good person. Definitely not a good mother. She’s been dead for nigh on 30 years and our relationship has never been better.
I adore my mum and step mum who raised me.
My Aunty and grandmazzz too.
We have had our moments.
My mum was alone for me single mum working for a while which was difficult because I was bullied and sick etc
There’s been pain hurt difficulties but I’m thankful and grateful for my parents.
My mum can have a hell of a temper and things I will not write about but I adore her.
She is great!!!
I think the woman that raised me are great.
They both worked and my mum studied at university.
They both have university education.
They are very different yet similar in some ways.
My mum told me on the phone the other night that she does not say “I love you” and neither did my stepmom much but I know they love me.
There was a time I felt unloved and unwanted when I was alone with my mum in Sweden but I know now they love me.
They did not smoke nor drink much alcohol and did not do drugs.
I had times of financial stability and living financially well and other timed we didn’t have money for milk …
So have experienced both …
I am very proud of the woman that raised me.
Very strong woman.
My stepmom felt more stable than my mum and did not have that hell of a temper that both my mum and I had back then.
My mum lost the passion of her life boyfriend because of me maybe he was the love of her life even .
She changed after that but came good again .eventually.
My mum and I fight a lot.
Disagreeing with her is very difficult.
I had a great time with her last time I saw her .we had less fights.became vegan together and did good things together.
They had morals they tried teaching me.
My stepmom was great making me eat dinner she would make deals with me saying eat that n this n you get dessert and stay up late otherwise no dessert n bed now.you choose.it was doable food to eat.food I didn’t like.
My mum n grandparents once said do t leave the table till you finish your plate.
I sat at the dinner table for five six hours til we had to go .
Stubborn.
We had dramazzz my mum n I but I don’t want to write about that .
I think they did a great job both of them in different ways.
yeah, I remember my father saying I had to eat my Raisin Bran
and I sat there with it in front of me til my mom got home on her lunch break
only my mom could take me for shots, or church, or out to get A and W.
My mother was a perfectionist under stress. She loved children, but didn’t like being a mom. She didn’t really get involved with our lives, because she was trying to escape reality. A romantic dreamer.
