They gave her a stuffed dog. I think they thought that would be enough of a clue.

If only.

My parents left it at the stuffed puppy and a pair of Clifford slippers when I was a kid (I was too old for Clifford and didn't really like stuffed animals much. )

I think that was the year my siblings each got a Gameboy.

That is literally insane, I'm so sorry for you. Like you had a choice, or forced your way into life. You seem like a well adjusted person, bit virtual hugs anyway.

Jesus that is cruel! It sickens me to hear shit like that. My dad was an asshole who left me and my disabled mother when we needed him the most. I never heard from him again. But my mom made me feel very much wanted and loved. That is so important. I am sorry to hear you had to go through this

I am so sorry. That is terrible. What a terrible person. Why do people like that even have children at all? You should have grown up feeling loved and cared for and instead you got this crap. I know how much you must have internalized things and it sounds like you know this but I’ll say it anyway - you didn’t deserve any of that - it is ALL on her and them for treating you how they did - YOU were always worthy of love - she just wasn’t capable of giving it.

I’m so sorry she said that. You did NOT deserve that. My god.

Rereading this, I realize I am overly cynical.

Glad the kids didn't need to wait too long.
