People often think of their mothers as their biggest supporters, especially when things are hard, but this isn’t always the case. Stephy’s worst time in life happened when she was 24 years old. She asked her mother for help because she had three kids and no other choice. But her mother said no, so Stephy had to deal with her problems on her own. After many years, the roles have switched, and now her mother needs help. Stephy has come to us for help figuring out what to do about this tough situation.

Letter from Stephy:

I lost my boyfriend in a car accident when I was 24 years old. I have three kids. Since I was only making minimum wage and couldn’t pay rent or feed my kids at the same time, I had to ask my mom to take us in. She said no because her new boyfriend wouldn’t like it.

It was the hardest years of my life when I was by myself with my kids. We didn’t have much. I worked three jobs and didn’t get more than four hours of sleep for years. We lived off of coupons. After a few years, I was able to stand on my own with a little help. Now I’m a proud mom whose kids are healthy and whose income stays steady.

After 14 years, my mom showed up at my door, even though I hadn’t heard from her in that time. She is now homeless and on her own, and she wants my help. I told her I would let her stay for a week at least.

She said, “If I had helped you back then, you wouldn’t have been able to do all this.” then I shut the door on her face. You seem to have done well in life now that you have your own home.

I couldn’t believe she was so bold. “I was afraid that you’d be the reason my boyfriend would leave me,” she said. And having kids would be too much for him to handle. He didn’t want anyone else in the house.

“Please don’t forget that a mother is not perfect,” she said before she left. I’m just a person…”

That’s because she ignored me and her grandchildren for years, even though she knew we had nowhere else to go. I can’t forgive her.

What should I do?

Yours,
Stephy”
