The Mystery of Why

Daily writing prompt
What’s a mystery from your own life that you’ve never solved?

A mystery that I will always wonder and never solve is the “why” my mother treated me so cruelly. While none of my brothers or sister had good childhoods, I was the one, who got the worst of it. It has left me with a profound form of trauma and has left me grappling with confusion. For many years I blamed myself -Did I remind her of someone who was mean to her, did she have a secret mental illness, or was I the “accident” pregnancy she didn’t want? In the end while I can speculate the reasons why, I will never truly know.
