🥺I survived life without a mom💕

Life really sucked growing up without a mom, I didn't have any one to do certain things or show me how to:

🌸be a girl (I was a tomboy not gay just loved sports and gym shoes never dressed boyish though)

🌸do my hair(why I became a cosmetologist)

🌸girl talk

🌸teach me about sex

🌸help me with the horror or menstrual periods

🌸be with me on my prom day or any dances

🌸birth of my children

🌸just be there in general

my dad had a few role models but it's nothing like you own mom they didn't live with me and it just seemed mentor ish besides two women who i still talk to.

my dad took us from her because she was high as a kite for hours while my brother and I at 3yrs old tried to clean cook etc even lit the trash can outside on fire to wake her up my dad came home to all this went off on her all I remember is he did put his hands on her because we could have died he slapped her and she was just looking dumb...

long story short we were in a much better situation we without that....

👇🏾things my dad didn't know:

🥴she took us to crack houses before

🥴bought drugs right in from of our faces

🥴did drugs most of the time around us

I made it through that I have two beautiful children 1 year old and 5 year old and I couldn't imagine life without them at all...I don't see how my mom made that horrible decision 😔 but life is life 🤷🏾‍♀️ God had and has me through it all✝️💕
