I Was Abandoned By My Mother

Long story short, my mom ran out on us to have her own life and barely calls or returns our calls. She sends us postcards. It is hard not having a female role model around and I live in a house of men. It sucks. My aunt has stepped in to help us and me when I was going through puberty. She helped me with lady things. I appricated it, but I prefer my mom but my mom has done NONE of those things. She left when I was in third grade. I was always jealous of my friends because they had mothers who we're there to be part of their lives. I look at them as mother figures but it isn't the same. I want MY MOMMY. I want her. It isn't fair. Mom why did you do this to us?! We needed you! I especially needed you. I need you mom!

Hi! I am an undergraduate researcher at the University of Sussex. I am studying the experiences of people who grew up with an absent mother figure, specifically looking at abandonment and I would really appreciate it if anyone who it applies to could take a few minutes to complete my survey. Your answers are anonymous, and you can skip any questions that make you uncomfortable. Thank you for taking the time to participate!
