Letters For Mom… Say What You Need to Say

I wish my mom wouldn’t lie all the time, especially when it involves my children, often she will say she bought them this or that or she’s mailed off gifts to them, when in fact she hasn’t bought anything. My children don’t even ask anything from her, so I don’t understand the need for the lies. Also when my children are visiting, because they live the rest of the time with their other parent, she rarely comes to visit, maybe once during an entire summer, but makes the time to drive by my house to get to her biological daughter’s home to spend time with that grandchild. Well I have vented, but honestly I still love her because even though she’s my stepmom (mine passed away when I was 8 ) she’s the only mom I’ve ever really had and I try to look at the positive things she does instead of dwell on the negative.
