My Mother whored around, did drugs, left for days and weeks all while our Father was deployed off of Vietnam. She was quite possibly the most manipulative, vindictive and nasty person I have ever known. All that said, she was our Mother.
My step-Mother was a marked improvement.
I have a friend whose mother hated her so I’ve heard some stories. I’m so sorry you didn’t have a caring nurturing mother who loved you. Some people are just bad.
Ah, c'mon. You can be more truthful than that ;)
