AITA for wanting another child when years ago my children were taken away?

My judgement is a bit more gentle. What I figure between the lines you were in a abusive relationship, and stem from your mom being abusive. If you were force to keep a baby there is domestic abuse at play. You most likely had some depression or addictions issues that spiraled you, resulting in terrible choices that made you lose your child. You mother is resentful she prob had to take in these kids, which is fair but manipulate you into having a kid you didn't want came back to bite her so my understanding only goes so far. I think it is great your life is on track. It doesn't make these things go away, but I am happy to see you are trying to be better. I think YWBTA if you didn't get therapy before having another kid. It might trigger you, and you have to be ready to deal with these emotions if you have kids again.
