With all that said, I've been grateful for having the opportunity to even raise a child or be a mom at all considering I couldn't have children of my own so I'll probably stuff whatever it is I'm feeling down and let it all slide. I know I'm still loved dearly and that's all that really matters. It isn't a competition.
I know that feeling. I raised three of my sister's children when she was sick. When she was able to care for them again they were teens and could choose where they wanted to live. Of course they chose to go with the indulgent Mother over the strict Aunt. I still had them on the weekends, and it took me about two years to come to grips with the situation, let it go, and just be happy I had the children all of their formative years. Two turned out to be solid, the baby, knew how to milk my sister for all it was worth, and she still does. She didn't learn that from me.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
