"Your just a child taking care of a child"

Quite frankly I think this quote is very inaccurate.

Physically I do not look like a child, I look young, like a young adult or teenager, but not a child.

Also, a child is selfish, a child is in their own world and wants whatever they want. Truly, kids don't really care what others think as long as they get something out of it. Not all kids are like this but the majority of them are. Now, if I was a child that had a child, I would have done things differently. I would force my family to take care of her, I would never have gotten her what I have, and i would be doing stuff for myself. I know I wouldn't be taking care of her. Now, thats a child taking care of a child. A child cannot take care of a child 24/7. It takes someone mature enough to do so.

Now, the statement, "your just a child taking care of a child" was said by my mother.
Lets back track a little bit okay?
When my mother found out she pregnant, first of all, she wasn't sure who the father was.
My father left her because she was pregnant and didn't know from who.
So as I am born into this world, a few years down the road, it turns out my mother is an alcoholic and a drug addict.  An abusive alcoholic and drug addict. She would forget me at school because her priorities were more important than me. She would forget me in stores. She once forgot to close the car door and as we turned the corner the door swung open. Thank God I knew how to buckle myself in.  She was in and out of rehab for most of my life, i stopped talking to her when my brother got taking away from her due to drugs in the house. I hated my mother. All she cared about was herself and no one else, she didn't care if someone got hurt and she couldn't get sober for her kids.

Now to me, that is the definition of a "child raising a child"

Now, she is 4 years sober. My brother doesn't remember my mom before, thankfully.

She lost all custody of me and my brother.

I am on good terms now with her, well for the most part.

She also knows that if she goes back into drugs and alcohol she will never see her grandchild again.
I am not kidding. I saw the worst of the worst. My child will not go through that.

So now, I do think I am a young mom raising a child, but I do not believe I am a child raising a child.
