I don't have a loving mother
Family & Caregivers / by bookbathbed

...See more I'm only realising it now at 29. I have my own children now and it's bringing all my feelings to the surface. When people talk about going out for drinks with their mum, having fun and chatting. I can't relate. When people talk about being supported by their mum, getting advice and having a shoulder to cry on. I can't relate. My mum barely cracked a smile at my graduation and seemed more interested in finding a nice place to have lunch. My mum kicked me out at 23 because my severe depression was 'bringing down the mood of the house'. My mum hasn't asked how me or my children, her only grandchildren, have been getting on during this entire pandemic. She lives 15 minutes away. My mum feels like an acquaintance that doesn't really like me. I feel like I'm constantly grieving the mother I never had. It's getting difficult to stay afloat lately, I feel abandoned and betrayed. All I can do is be the mother I wish I had for my own children. ♥️ They will never feel the way I do right now. I won't allow it.
