I wanna see my absent mother but my dad doesn't thing it's a great idea. What should I do?

I'm thinking about visiting my mom before my senior year starts which is in two weeks. My mom said goodbye to us and left letters for us to have her own life. No she didn't abandon us. Anyways so my mom is......well busy. I've been waiting for a phone call all day today and she never called. I called her twice but she never picked up. She told me she was going to arrive at my 13th birthday. I've waited for 9 hours. My dad distracted me by games, dancing and wanted me to have fun which I did. My dad kept telling me to not get my hopes up. My mom never showed up. I called and asked what happened. She never called back. Then two months later she said she forgot and didn't feel sorry for it. I'm thinking about living with her but my dad doesn't know about it. My best girl plans said it's a crazy idea and I'll end up hurt again as usual. This time I'm sure my mom will appricate it.

I just need my mother and my dad said seeing her isn't worth it and she is just going to hurt me again.

God, please don’t do that, you’ll most likely regret it.

Listen to your dad, he’s right.

@65Roses Look I understand he doesn't want me hurt but I need to see her. Even my brothers say don't.

Why do you need to see her that bad?
UnlovedDaughter01 · 22-25, F
@65Roses I just do! She wasn't there for my first period, she missed my middle schools graduation. She didn't show up for that either. I don't want her to miss my high school graduation next year. She wasn't there for me when I needed her especially to teach me how to be a woman. I need a mom. Every girl needs her mom

You might think you need her, but you don’t. You’ve gotten through this far in your life without her, you’ve proven that you don’t need her. But if you wish to see her, that’s up to you, and only you.

But I beg you, don’t just leave your dad to go live with her...

@65Roses I'm not leaving. Just because I made it 8 years without my mom doesn't mean I don't need her. I'm going to be a woman and I need my mom to teach me to be one. My friends have their moms and their moms are RIGHT there when they need them. What I'm I suppose to do? My aunts and grandma dont count. I get jealous seeing people with their moms. Mothers Day is hard for me.

There are many people out there who have grown into amazing human beings without a parent, and some without either of them...

@65Roses true but my friends have their moms
