Question : am i being the best mom i can be?
obviously nobody is a perfect mom but here is my life story

i was born in north carolina in 1975 my father was never there for me and my brother was horrid and verbally abused me i left home when i was 17 after several arguments after my dad left home i moved to atlanta georgia and met my ex and my best friend who in the past 16 years is the only person i can trust

i had a bit of work by being a tattoo artist and pub work anyway we all moved to richmond virginia ,me my ex and my best friend Mickie and i got a proper job as a receptionist and we had just started renting a proper house anyway

when i was 27 i fell pregnant with my daughter and i was never the maternal type but everything ran smoothly for the past 4 years then me and my ex split up and he moved to rhode island and he never contacted me again i was upset for a while

but i realised how important my daughter and mickie was to me as she has always stuck by me and (in richmond she rented her own place) but i had a little drink problem but have never seen harm come to my daughter anyway i sorted that out and unfortunatly due to the recession i lost my job and ended up $ 15,000 in debt then my horrid brother turned up (first i see of him in the past what 17 years) threatening me for money as it turns out he has a drug habit horrified how he found me as i haven’t spoke to my mom dad or him scince i left (they dont even no i have a daughter) after he threatened my daughter i decided to move over night and my best mate Mickie who is also having trouble in richmond said she had nothing worth staying for there said we should all move so we have all moved to Boise Idaho (for a random reason we decided to pick there )

i live in a small $ 600 a month house 3 bedroom but theres alot of mould in the 3rd room so my daughter shares with me (btw my daughter gets on really well with her Auntie Mickie and i trust mickie with her all the while) i onl have $ 100 a week if im lucky to spend on gas food clothes ect and (thats Mickies wage aswell) my daughter seems happy and so does mickie though im a little older than her she is 30 im 34 i just feel im doing a awfull job and i know this isent really a ? it just feels good to exspress my woes .

do i sound like a awfull mom and person

ask your kids what they think… if theyre happy with you being their mum then youve got it made… other stuff doesnt really matter.. youre doing your best!
