Episode 118: Lucy and Lauren

When I prayed or hoped that, you know, she wouldn't have another baby when the baby did die, when Lauren did die. Mom was already very mentally unwell, but I think losing Lauren completely just like cracked her open. And she blamed Jennifer for Lauren's death. She blamed a four or five year old little girl and it completely shattered my sister. She said that she just didn't want a sibling.

So, I mean, I remember when my mom told me that she was pregnant with our little brother, I was also really upset. That is a very typical kid reaction. She said that she doesn't remember specifically, quote, praying that the baby would die. But that is what my mom says that she did.

And I had specifically asked Jennifer, do you remember mom saying, it's your fault? And she was like, those exact words. Like she said, this is your fault.

Jennifer developed severe mental health issues.

The source of my trauma is the adult that is in the room with me, which I have also experienced this, that same self-harm I started to do when I was a child. And Jennifer stopped me from doing it.
