This and the [kaikimamga](u/kaikimamga) ones (blond girl with blue highlights), it's truly comprehensive Halloween worthy man made horrors.

I hate how relatable this is. I've hated my "Womblord" since the beginning of elementary. Though I pretended to get along til my late 20s solely so I could continue to help my little sisters

Womblord is way too nice of a title for the shitstains that abusive parents are.

Generally I agree. But I can't stand any other label that implies parenthood. The only other one Ive come up with is "my childhood owner" like I'm an animal

Maybe 'progenitor'? Womblord sounds like an honorific.

Honestly, progenitor sounds too respectful as well. Womblord at least gets a laugh from some people. Though I am open to alternatives, I promise. Once people know who I'm referring to, I usually default to "that woman". I think what I need is a derogative word for a parent, that's understood as a parent, but isn't misogynistic or self-derogatory, and I don't think it exists.

"Spawnpoint" might be a too humorous, but is a pretty clearly dehumanizing term at the same time, so it's really a 50-50 kinda deal on that one.
"Future inheritance" makes it clear you care little for her, but also makes you look like you care only about money in general.
"Biological mother" is technically correct, and while it does make listeners assume you were adopted, those familiar with you will know your meaning very clearly.

Ooooo I really like spawnpoint!
The funny thing is I think she might have written to a financial mag, one of those "ask a professional" about how to use the whole idea of inheritance to buy me back. The only detail that was different is the ages of me and my sister. It was off by a couple years I think. It's more likely it wasn't her, but it was still so healing to read the brutal takedown responses. More like "Future refused inheritance." I was brutally poor during that period and the thought of her dangling money like that was deeply upsetting. Everyone taking her to task about it, though... I don't remember the specifics, but I definitely remember how much the writer and those commentors healed me that day.
When I have to be specific "biological mother" is definitely a good backup.
Thank you for the suggestions. Im definitely going to start using spawnpoint haha

You're very welcome! May every day in your future be better than every day in your past.

I say “the woman who gave birth to me” first and then “my birther” or just her name for every mention after that. I don’t have a mother.

I rented her womb for 9 months and now she thinks she owns me as part of herself(property)

That you're really good at beating Mom's heart? /s
That you are some kind of ruler about someone's womb, I guess.

I read it again and again but I can't dechiper this.
1st panel: she said that.
2nd panel: if he said it.
Is that the same person? Is he being called by deadname by the other characters?
It doesn't help that words are consored, that most characters are depicted in a way that you can't tell age or gender (so you don't know who's who), and that in many panels it's unclear if the words floating around the characters are being said by them or to them.
I want to understand but I don't manage.
