I Am Jealous Or Even Envious of Other People

My best friend's mom is such a sweet caring, strong and funny woman. She is always there for her when she needs her and she treats me like another daugher. My two other friends have amazing caring mothers. I mean my girl pals are super lucky to have loving and amazing mothers. Honestly I get jealous when I see them bonding with their mothers. Also because their moms were there to be part of their lives. I pretend their moms are mine. My own mother was never there for me. She was only there for the first 8 years of my life. She never acted like a mother towards me. Let's just say she went though the wrong path. She abandoned us when I was I was 8. She breaks promises and stood us up a couple of times. I can't forgive my mom for abandoning us. I just wish I had a mom that was there for me. Why can't my mom be like other moms?!
I know I'm not the only one but it hurts to see people with their mothers, especially daughers.

don't blame yrself.. and stop thinking about yr past...some got mother's ass-holes some got fathers ass-holes who don't even want to see their children or care for them.. its not up to you... some mothers are caring, overprotecting and some mothers worry just about themselves... people are different and u couldn't change yr mum's thinking or behaviour.

I know this might be hard for you but you've got to move on because the only thing wallowing in self-pity will do is drag you down. Look at all the positives in your life. You've obviously got some good friends and you know what... no matter how bad it was it could have been even worse. They got people whose parents have killed them, molested them over and over.Im not saying to become a robot or make light of your situation but every day is a real gift. Don't waste it worrying about your mom. Don't let you mind dwell in a negative place.

@MotherlessDaughter01 Well your dad is coming from the position of I guess an abandoned spouse which is very different from the position that you are coming from which is an abandoned child.But your dad wants the best for you and just ask yourself what good will wanting and envying do? You are young only once. Maybe you could tell your mom how you feel in some way and that would make u feel better. Can you ask another woman for some support such as a grandma or an aunt? If she left when you were 8 this is a long time for your feeling to be so raw but I know you need her most at this time. You will be ok. Life just sucks sometimes and that's just the way it is.
