Mother walked away when i was 3.5 years old, comes back now when I am 22. Rant.
My mother walked out of my family when i was approximately 3.5 years old. She was apparently married to a whole different guy, from a different religion. My dad was obviously heart broken, and decided to leave that country and come back and settle down in our native place. All my life, i've heard things about my mother's family: her father was a rapist, both her brothers were alcoholics and drug addicts. And these things weren't just from my dad, they were even from my aunts and uncles too.
All these years, I never heard from her, until now. My dad was diagnosed with cancer last June, and by march they had declared it terminal. I am in a different state for my post graduation, and I already feel bad that I am not there to help him. He is in a pretty bad condition right now, barely able to stand and clean himself.
After all these years, my mom decides to get in touch with me. I'm not sure about how she got my number, but her mother first called me up to ask about me and my dad. I obviously blocked the number, so she got her friend to send a message. It read: your mom just wants to know how you are doing, she is your mother, she deserves another chance, please do consider. I replied with: I am not interested in getting in touch with her, please ask her to stay away from me, else i will have to file a case.
Today, my mom sent me a long message, saying how I am arrogant, just like my father, and that I am a miserable little creature that she was genuinely worried about and that I had responded in an arrogant way. "I can see your miserable end by the way you are behaving", "your father and his sick, miserable family", "you too have learnt to be rude and arrogant like your father", "i hope your father's family doesn't cheat you or make you live on the road after his miserable death". These are some of the hurtful things she said to me in the message.
I am heart broken right now, this is the first time I am having a conversation with my mother, and these are the words she tells me. Even her "God bless you and your family" sounds really sarcastic at this moment. All these years I felt very indifferent towards her, I never wished her bad luck towards whatever it was that she was doing, but to hear all these words has left me so hurt. I can't even talk about this to anyone, I can't even tell my dad because he is literally on his death bed right now.
