When I was a child, my family was quite poor. We ate regularly from the food bank. My mother had a decent job but my dad is bipolar, and lives on disability. He also wasnt properly medicated so he relied on weed and booze (spent all of our money on it.) One Christmas was especially tough, and I was in grade 8. I wanted an MP3 cause everyone else had one. My mom couldn't afford it, and she ended up getting me like 5 boxes of craft things (make your own necklace, etc). I was SO hurt I left right after opening the gifts and went to my friends house. I never talked about this with my mother. 2 years ago I was at my parents house, and we were talking about the older days. I choked up when I thought about the memory and started to cry. I apologized to her for being angry about the gifts, because I know she tried so damn hard to make me happy. I know her and I know she loves making us happy. I can only imagine how much it killed her to not be able to give us the things we wanted. She cried and said it was okay, I was young and she understood I didn't have a lot when I was growing up. She also felt bad that my dad had spent most of our money. My dad has since been properly medicated, does not smoke weed or drink and I now have a well paying job that I am able to spoil my mom with, since god knows she wasn't able to do it when she was raising us. Anyway, I would appreciate an unban. -CX
