Disclaimer: (In 3 words or less) I own nothing.

From Mother to Daughter.

Sometimes I hate you.

Other times I can't stand to look at you.

But some where in my heart I love you.

Even though I never show it.

I constantly drown my memory of him with alcohol.

When I'm sober, I can tell that you hate me.

Hate me for being the way I am.

Hate me for not being like all the other mothers.

I know you hate yourself.

You can't stand to be who you are.

Knowing exactly what you are and how you came to be.

I laugh at how much you look like me...and him.

I wonder if you constantly search.

For the answers that you can never find.

There will be a time when you'll understand everything.

Understand why I am the way I am.

Understand that I never meant to hurt you.

It's just hard.

I wish you could feel what I feel.

Then maybe there wouldn't be anymore bitterness.

I truly do love you. Even if you'll never feel the same.
