    She wouldn’t ask, but she would be desperate to move in with me and get away from her extremely abusive mother.

    I wouldn’t wait for her to ask. She’d have a place to stay here until she didn’t need it anymore, and I’d begin working on all those problems of hers… If she let me!

      Abuse as a child is one of the hardest things to go through, and psychological abuse alone is incredibly destructive. You did great getting away from that and working on the problems your mum caused. I’m glad you survived it

        And if anybody needs it, I empowered myself by thinking about things I wished a mom would do for me, and then learned to do them for myself, but also for others!

        So if you might need a spare Mom, hmu!
