A young girl waiting with high hopes for her mother. My heart was crushed by empty promises. I didn't deserve this I decided. Years later I can only count on myself.

I can relate to that in that I never had a good relationship with my mom. She would always tell me that she'd do something and then not. In September she passed away and now I'm all by myself. I can only count on myself to get things done.
I now how you feel. My mom used to tell me she changed and wasn't on drugs this time, but that never came. It sucks but it's how things go. Now I only have myself in my family. Everyone else is gone or don't care. Keep your head up.
I can relate, when I was little I was put into foster care. my mom did 5 years in draper for drugs. was only out for 2 years before she passed away last year. I always had to do things on my own and I hated it. but looking back it's made me who I am today, more independent then I ever would of been before.
Sierra, I understand the feeling of being let down time after time. I learned though, we don't have to stand alone. There is always someone who can help us so we here out there. Sometimes I think, the hard experiences we go through can teach us. Maybe you can help someone else who feels how you felt because you have the empathy. It takes strength to go on, and I admire you for it :)
What sticks out most to me in this is self-reliance. How when we lose all hope of help we turn to ourselves. It makes us some of the strongest people out there I think.
I understand your pain, but instead of my mom it was my dad. My home situation wasn't that fun growing up with my father. He always said that the reason my mother and him are fighting because of me. I was the black sheep in the family so I got treated the worst. Well at least you caught on early. Keep on writing.
