Blog assignment 8/28/24

A time I was in a conflict with my mother was when she'd constantly throw my younger siblings on me. At this time I was forced to be a second parent very young. This was extremely stressful and made me gain great resentment towards my mother. It took me a lot of time to correctly handle this, but when I did I finally put my foot down with my mother. I told her that I did not have these children and although I love them dearly I should not be parenting them more than her. In this situation I learned that I am very strong and capable of standing up for myself. Had I never stood up for myself I would have been in the same situation. Unfortunately after this happened me and my mom do not speak anymore, although this is what I'd rather due to the trauma I went through there wasn't much positive progress with our relationship.
