My Mother Should Have Aborted Me

 

My mother should have aborted me

The statement my mother should have aborted me may shock some people, but this is how I truly feel, everyone would have been better off had I never been born.

My mum contemplated having me aborted but decided the money she would receive for my existence was worth bringing me into the world.

I was never loved nor wanted growing up, my mum could barely say my name, birthdays were non existant and love was something I did not know, pain and misery were the only things my mother ever shoe me.

My mother was a single woman but had a constant array of partners, I was raped for the first time aged around 6, and regularly throughout my childhood.

Mum would never attend my school events or show any interest in me, I would often go hungry and scavenge through bins or steal from people’s packed lunches.

My clothes were hand me downs, more like tattered rags only fit for the bottom of an old dogs bed.

School was hard, I was an outcast, a misfit, not good enough to be anyone’s friend, not academic, not sporty, not pretty, a poor loner.

By 16 I had dropped out of education which meant I was no longer a financial use for my mother, I was cast aside to fend for myself.

Homeless and scared I was a target for violence and sexual abuse yet again, eventually I was placed in a dirty bed sit, surrounded by drug users and vagrants.

I have always been unwanted, a waster, a woman of no worth.

So yes I wish I had of been aborted then my life would have not been one of misery, one of pain and one of self loathing.

I am finally at the age of 27 getting some support from my husband, I have cut of my mum completely from my life, my demons still haunt me and I suffer from depression, I am yet to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I do not see how I will ever recover nor a bright shining future but I will carry on this existence in the hope that one day, some how I recover enough to be able to bring life into this world and give my child the Up bringing I was never entitled to have.

One thought on “My Mother Should Have Aborted Me

  • I don’t know what you expected from life. Often expectations don’t fit reality. If reality falls well short of expectations, as yours does, it can be difficult to cope with. The difficult part of your journey forward is determining what expectations you should have and how to accept reality for what it is.

    What I’d like to ask, though, is if you think condemning others to death because your reality didn’t meet your expectations is really the correct answer? I get that you aren’t happy with your life, and that is not a small issue. You have real problems and legitimate complaints. I just don’t know that your complaints are really justification for killing other people.
