Ok my mom had mental problems. I seen her at her worst. She was very dependant on her ex husband. I HATED HIM. My mom was on seraquel and respidol. I belive the doctor try every medicine the could on her. These medicine left her like a zombie. She was easily taken avantage of and in denile. My step dad knew this,he had a drug habit an was very abusive to me and my brothers. Our terror story whent on for ten year with her husband. We were basically left to be raised by him wit my mom all zombied out. I was six years old whe he first sexually abused me. I told my mom, she told me to forgive an act like it didn't happen. Between beatings and molestation I started to lose it as a child. My brothers mind set were no better. Because of the state my mother was in she could not protect us. If anything she needed protecting. I'm older now I see she wasn't fit to be a parent. Butt back then I despised her. My mom is currently institutionalized. Maybe now she can get real help.
