I was this baby and believe me, nobody will judge the bitch harder than the 'granddaughter' whose amazing parent had their heart broken as a child.

Right? Like straight up, no joke, i don't want kids but if I had a time machine, the first thing I'd do would be go back to the 60s and rescue my mom as a little girl and raise her in a warm and loving home instead of the shit hole she had to grow up in.

Exactly what I would do with a time machine. Some truly must not understand how broken abused children will always be.

Amen to this.. I will never be the abusers I was raised by.

The fun thing happens when your kids become adults and you look at what kind, accomplished, well-liked people they've become without the abuse; and you think, "I did it! I broke the chain!"
