Yeah, when I was a kid our real mother said she'd come back for us in a month when she dropped us off at our dad's place and we never saw her again for over three months. We did occasionally get calls from her, but she never even came to see us or anything. And when I was younger than that my brother almost died so I understood what death meant but I was also really gullible as a kid. So when I went looking to my real mom crying because my brother was being mean to me (I don't even remember what it was but he was tormenting me in some way) and she told me "Mommy isn't here, mom is dead" because she didn't want to deal with us anymore. Needless to say since I couldn't see her I believed her and started crying my eyes out. I was only about five when that happened.

On top of that when I was about the same age my real mother lied to us about our dog dying, she said she ran away. Then several years later she told us that the dog died from stomach cancer. Then finally when I was in high school she told us the truth that her boyfriend at the time broke the dog's neck since we couldn't afford to put her down because of the stomach cancer.

Not to mention my real mother was almost always not keeping her promises or lied to us about everything. She's caused us numerous times to loose our home to the point of not having anything but the clothes on our backs and at times not having anything to eat because she didn't look for a job for about half a year and was instead doing volunteer work for the first aid squad and also didn't do any of her taxes. She ended up getting kicked off the squad and we lost the house and ended up loosing 80% of both mine and my brother's clothing because my real mother put it in a storage unit she couldn't afford to pay for. Not to mention we have almost no baby pictures of my or my brother because of this, basically all our pictures between me and my brother don't even half fill a shoe box, the rest of the shoe box has pictures of other family members.

And that's really just the tip of the iceberg. ^^;
