My sister was the most sensitive to everything. We could look to my older sister on how to proceed with mother, if it was ok to approach her at any given time. And how everyone tried to placate mother.<br /><br />I wonder how we would have all turned out if we had a good mother. If mother didn't pull her crap and just stayed home and baked cookies while father was at work.

After a while we were so glad to see her go that I think we actually drove her away on purpose.

When I was very littl...I had forgotten about this. When I was very little my mother used to do it. She would take me along though and we were gone for days or weeks (can't remember exactly how long). We would go to the city where we would stay with her mother. She took me because I was so little perhaps or that she needed the supply. I remember being so young that my grandmother got me a potty. So that's young.<br /><br />She would leave the 3 older kids alone with dad. Dad worked full-time, so I don't know exactly how that worked. But when I grew up and on my own an old family friend told me there were times there was no food and that she would have to help out with the cooking or what-not. It seems that there were regular times when my siblings were out of my life. That is a blank space in my head. <br /><br />I remember one time we came back home and mother started to cry. Mother doesn't cry and it came out like a screech or a howl, it was horrible and I was so scared. Apparently, dad killed her dog to get even.<br /><br />That must have been terrible to worry about your father coming home. I imagine you felt blamed for her leaving or making her leave. That's not true, however, that is how we feel don't we. That feeling is indescribable. To try to control something that is out of your control. To grow up before your ready. Abandonment issues is very hard. In relationships its like I'm going to die. I have to place things in a logical way in my head, and that is not easy.<br />Joan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775873193806083833noreply@blogger.com
