I Feel Abandoned

My friends abandoned be because I grieve about my mom too much. They tell me I'm being selfish and only thinking of myself which isn't true. My ex bestie was like, "Get over it! People die. Why are you grieving over a drug dealer that proved that she didn't want you? She doesn't deserve sympathy for leaving you guys and chosing drugs over you. Let her go already and move on!" It's only been five months and I'm being told to move on. People are getting tired of me posting about her and never liked my posts. My mom wasn't the best mom I admit, but I wanted a loving relationship with her but she wasn't interested and never kept her promises. I want her back! She passed May 10, 2019. Two days before mothers day.

I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom. Please understand that often people just don’t know what to say to a bereaved person, so they quite often say the wrong things, or nothing at all - which can be just as bad. I’m sure your friends mean well, but maybe you could consider some sort of therapy/counselling to help you come to terms with losing your Mom, as the professionals are there to listen & advise on coping strategies in such situations, whereas our friends just don’t know how to support us in the best way 💜
