My mother stole my identity...our relationship is GONE!

I used to have a good relationship with my mother until I was about 20 years old. I looked up to her, I spoke highly of her to everyone I knew.

Then, when I was about 20, I found out that she used my social security to attain a bunch of credit cards and stuff.

Since this has happened, we haven't had one good conversation, like we used to. I don't call her for advice, like I used to. I don't call her at work just to say hi...none of that.

I feel saddened by everything because on one level, I miss her. I miss my mom but I feel so ANGRY with her for doing what she did, I don't know that I could ever feel the way I used to about her.

Our relationship is so damaged. I forgive her because I know that no one is perfect but I can't forget... especially now because I live in poverty and I can't get car loans so that I can get a car or anything like that (personal loans, ect) due to what she's done to my credit.

It's horrible.
