Purely a Rant-fest

I recently found out that my mother will be missing my birthday this year. Yes, I know there are worse things going on in the world. What upsets me is WHY she is missing my birthday. Lets go back and get a history lesson

My mother met a man online 3 years ago, she introduced him to the family at my 16th birthday dinner. Guess what! He has the same birthday as me. Wanna know another fun fact? My birthdays were never the same after that.

Three months after they met, he proposed to my mom, 6 months after that they got married. I did not attend the wedding. My mother chose to have it on mothers day and I have a father to visit.

My mother ruined my birthday that year. She claimed that my sisters fiance had been hitting on her. Luckily, my boyfriend at the time let me spend the day with him and he took me to color me mine and dinner.

My 18th birthday my mother forced me to spend it with her and her husbands family (by the way, little side fact, i do not call this man my step-father. i always refer to him as my mom's husband). Now call me jealous, but for 15 years my birthday was mine. It was my day. I did not like sharing it. We had to share a cake and a party.

This year, my mother will be missing my birthday because she'd rather see that her husband's son has a good and safe first day of college in New York. What may be worse is that when I told my mother that her trip landed on my birthday, she said she had forgotten, but she didn't forget that it was her husbands birthday.

Ain't that lovely?
