You Are Not My Mother.
You are not my Mother.
I hated the way you tried to take her place. Didn’t my Dad tell you that I am not a sweet toothed little Girl? Well I am and you with your sweets and chocolates will never ever replace my Mum. What Dad ever saw in you I cannot for the life of me think. I do not like you and as long as I live you will never ever replace that lovely person that my Mother was and is. While I am at it I just hope that my Dad realises his mistake and brings Mum home with him. I will have great pleasure in throwing you and your rotten old sweets and chocolates out of the Front Door.
Dad why did you and Mum part? Was it my fault was I too much work for Mum? Did I get on your nerves with my silly questions and Dad why did you have to bring this woman home and tell me that she is my new Mum? She will never take the place of my Mum, Dad when are you going to bring Mummy back home. I miss her so much.
Stella you are and always will be my little girl and that with your Mum I am sorry to tell you that your Mum ran off with another man, It was nothing that you or I did , it was her meeting and falling in love with this other man that made her leave you, me and go off all because of love. I am no wizard I cannot magic her back home. I just wish I could, I miss her as well and this other woman that you will not accept as Mum. I have not done right by her but after Mum walked out on us something turned my brain and I asked the first woman that I met, more on the rebound of the loss of your Mother to be a new Mum for you. I do not love her but I respect her and that is all I ask from you that you respect the new woman by my side.
All right Dad I will respect her but please ask her not to keep trying to stuff me full with sweets and chocolates I never did like that gooey stuff that she will bring home expecting me to fall over backwards with my thanks for her really stodgy sweets and chocolates. Then perhaps I can arrange my self not to openly show my dislike for the woman.
Dad I saw Mum today she was pushing a pram with a baby in it. Do you think that Mummies now a mother to another little baby. And dad, will the new baby be my brother or sister. Dad perhaps you are the babies father, will that bring us back together again? One big happy Family and will you get rid of the sweet woman and her stodgy old sweets, Do what I may I just cannot accept her as my mother not even as my Aunt, she is to me the stranger that broke up my happy home and drove my mummy away with a new baby in her Belly, it is not fair and dad tell her not to make so much noise when I am trying to sleep. I have too many problems in my head. Get rid of the woman and get my Mummy back so that we can be a happy family once again. Oh! By the way I have had a few words with the scribbler Mr. Shaw or Bern as he calls himself, he told me that this was an adult problem and that I was not to break my head over things. It will all turn out right in the end when I have put a few more years behind me. Then I will understand all that is one big problem at my age.
