My best friend keepings wanting to see or connect with her mom but her mom wants NOTHING to do with her and she gets hurt. What do I do?

If a parent doesn't call you, visit, or even make an effort to say, "Happy Birthday." to a child, should that person just cut all ties from that parent?
That's what my best friend told me what her mom did. She was heartbroken that her mom didn't wanna talk to her when she wanted to wish her a "Happy Mother's Day". She always has her hopes up when she thinks her mom will turn around. I feel so bad for her because she doesn't have a mother. I mean it's sad. What should I tell her?

@LaurieKitKat94 How old? She has a dad or siblings?

@Awfullybrave yes. A dad and three older brothers. She hates being the only girl in the house.

@LaurieKitKat94 Well that's what she GOT...Tell her to be grateful that she has a family.. Brothers are good.. Father is good. Sounds like mum if from other planet but we don't choose our lives or family.. Very sad but a woman who does that to her child is obviously unwel..She have to see therapy if she needs and actually appreciate those who are with her.. SORRY I sounds tough and mean.. But life is real hard. Real hard at time... But yes is sad 😥. Bet someone is worse off though.. Just sayin... And you seem like a sweet friend.. She will be OK. ❤️
