When she said "I never wanted my mother to love me, I just wanted her to like me, to be nice to me, cause y'know, she was my mother" broke my heart.

[@leslieyoung2485]

A cruel mother, a mean mother, is scarier than almost anything. When your mom is mad at you for having a good day or being happy. Or when you can’t tell your mom about something good that happened to you because it infuriates her. A mom who gets mad if you dress nice or fix your hair and wear makeup. It’s hard to say what is worse. Being ignored all the time or having your mom mad at you for someone giving you a compliment. A mom you just sucks the life out of the room just by walking in.

Also, I have a background of being raised by an alcoholic father, so I have real experience, compassion ad empathy there. No, we do not know real truths of anyone. But, I can hope, pray and wish the best for them. What are you doing for anyone, except being negative and trying to hurt people with your words? I don't think anyone these days sit in a "little protected safe zone". Everyone has their crosses to bear in this world.

Giving up her children, knowing they are better with the adoptive mom due to her addiction that was brought onto her at a far too early age from her mother. It’s heartbreaking. Its despicable what her ‘mother’ did. You’re not a whisper despite it being your name, your story screams hurt. I hope you get clean Whisper, you absolute beautiful soul.

She’s hard on herself repeating “I’ve done some things, a lot of things” but she has saved her babies lives. That took unbearable strength. Just like your baby asked what he did when they took him away each week from your visits, and it wasn’t his fault but he didn’t understand. This all wasn’t your fault either, Whisper. None of this was your fault. You’re incredible and brave and beautiful. Get clean and live

Whisper, take comfort in that fact that you were a much better mum than your mum, giving them up to a good home because you knew you couldn't take care of them.

[@sovietchampagne]

I hope this doesn't sound like a weird observation, but I was struck immediately by how muscular, yet lean, Whisper's body is. It doesn't look like the kind of body you get from intentionally working out. I've seen the same body on a lot of people on this channel. I studied anthropology ... her figure reminds me of the bodies of hunter-gatherer men, or other people for whom all kinds of hard physical labour are daily facts of life. Her appearance speaks a lot to the kind of life she has had. To survive she had to develop an incredible strength (mental and physical) and it's written on her body.

[@user-bq6ee6be4o]

It seems to be common with crack users

[@sovietchampagne]

@@user-bq6ee6be4o yes absolutely, and if it were just the appetite suppression effect of the stimulants you would expect her to look emaciated, not rippled with lean muscle ... so I think some part of her lifestyle, and that of many stimulant users on the street, must be continuously working her muscles and stopping them from wasting away.

[@Cinnamun52]

I think it might be fat atrophy from the drug so muscle shows up.

[@user-gt1kd9rv1w]

@@sovietchampagne what exactly are stimulants? It’s not the drugs that’s doing that right? I was wondering why she looks like that too

[@sovietchampagne]

@@user-gt1kd9rv1w Stimulants are any kind of drug that has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system. The opposite of a stimulant is a depressant (like opiates, benzodiazepines, etc.). Cocaine and methamphetamine are stimulants, but so is caffeine. It's a very big family of chemicals. Stimulants can have effects on a person's metabolism through their stimulation of the nervous system, but they might also make a person want to move around and do things, and they tend to suppress appetite.

[@bridgettmoody1475]

I’m so sorry that happened. When I fostered I hated hearing about siblings who were separated. I adopted all of my kiddos and thought my family was complete with my three. Then, late one night I got a call asking me to foster two girls who had been with me before. I knew they also had two new little brothers and my 1st question for the case worker was “where are the boys?” I was told they were trying to find another foster home to take them, assuming I wouldn’t take all 4. I let them know I was on my way to pick them ALL up. I now have 7 kiddos and my family is definitely complete. I can’t imagine how kiddos must feel when they are being taken from everyone and everything they know and then loose their siblings. The thought just kills me.
