I have to post about this because I found it really hard

it was mother's day last sunday in the UK, and while everyone had a mother to call and buy gifts for, I didn't and it was really tough (I experienced a lot of flashbacks)

it's hard enough when your own family have turned against you and have broke off comunication

it's a whole lot worse once you find out their on another continent, not caring where you are or what you're doing, just enjoying their lives.

why should they enjoy their lives when they messed up mine

just a thought..

So sorry life is like that for you. I feel the same way on Father's Day, it's hard. You know it's not fair to you to compare their lives to yours. Why would you want their lives if they were the type people that would mess yours up? You don't want to be that person, do you? Right now you have the opportunity to live your life regardless (in spite of) of them. To do well for yourself and be happy would be a slap in the face to them and their efforts. Ya know? Also, family doesn't have to be a blood relative. You can make your own family with people you love and that love you where you are at right now. Don't give the other family that power over your life to make you live unhappy because of them. Take care of yourself, you deserve that.
