AITA for being a narcissistic, immature and selfish mother?

Me, Gabby (F35) And my ex-husband,Jerry (M35) We were a typical high school couple. Unfortunately, when I was eighteen I got pregnant and gave birth to my first daughter, Rosie (F, now 16) We got married quickly before high school ended, because we live in a very religious country in Eastern Europe.

My ex-husband decided to go abroad to work (Germany to be precise) I said from the beginning that it was pointless. After all, we lived comfortably with my parents and sisters. After all, it was the perfect solution! And my ex was babbling something about having our own flat and car. But what was the point of all that when my parents provided everything for us? So what if we had to share a room with two of my four sisters?

I let Jerry go, though. I figured he should see for himself how hard it is when you're not living with my wonderful family.

Jerry worked mostly in the summer and came home in the winter, when Rosie was two we conceived our younger daughter Lauren (F,now 14)

When Jerry found out about my second pregnancy he decided he would take me and Roise to Germany and we would live there without MY WONDERFUL FAMILY. I yelled out to him that I wasn't going anywhere, that I loved my parents and sisters the most and only secondarily him and our children. He said I was irresponsible. We divorced.

I found out that shortly after the divorce he went to a German prison for stealing cars belonging to retired people.

When Rosie was 10 and Lauren was 8 I met my current husband, Anders. (M, now 58) Fortunately, he doesn't question the fact that I want to live with my parents forever, For me he even broke off contact with his daughter,Ellie ( F then 17) Anyway, he never wanted to take care of her, it was always done by my current father-in-law.

Together with Anders we have a son, Leon (M4) Fortunately my second husband has little contact with my daughters and that's a very positive thing.

I was looking for a husband and not a stepfather for my daughters.

Lauren has hurt my heart from the beginning. Physically she is almost a carbon copy of Jerry. Those grey eyes of hers! Every time I see her I cry. I also cry whenever anyone says his last name. It makes my life a bit difficult because my daughters have his last name. In addition, when Lauren was little she stole the candy! Like her father, only her father stole cars.

I have never talked to my daughters about their father. They only know his name. It is too heavy a subject for me, I know they have a right to know about their father, but it is too heavy a subject for me. They have to remember that I am not just a mother but also a woman and I have been through a divorce a lot.

Rosie is a smart girl and has never asked about Jerry. Unfortunately Lauren is a difficult child and for about a year she kept making me cry with questions about her father. My family and I wanted her to finally stop because she was hurting me, but she wouldn't stop. Anyway, I don't know how to raise children because all three of them are raised by my mother. I feel like I'm still seventeen, so I'm not ready to be a mother.

My family tries to protect me, but my friend at work (I'm a high school teacher) says I'm hurting Lauren.

It's just that Lauren can't be hurt because she's naturally evil.

AITA?
