I'm so sorry you've had to deal with "that" kind of mother, AJ. I can relate ... so I know how much it hurts. It's hard not to keep wishing a parent would actually PARENT, but sometimes they just never get there.

Thank you so much for sharing this on HHH. I'm so pleased that you turned that painful experience into something positive, and now you're sharing your beautiful stories with your Medium community - and I'm so honoured to have you sharing them here on HHH!

Thank you for being a part of our Pub Family. I appreciate you!
