So the problem here was you had a mother who was neglecting you not because of work but because of her own personal problems and left you with someone who was abusive. Do you see how little of this has to do with working mothers or parents and a lot to do with the individuals in the situation? Which is what we are trying to say, making broad brush statements about parents isn't right unless you know the situation.
