loving your mom?

I know we are supposed to love our moms more then ever but my problem is my mom does not give me the impression that she loves me. i wanted to write a list of everything I love about my mom because i did a list about my dad and i could not think of anything for my mom that would be presentable to her, it was more like I love that she has brown eyes and hair because i inherited that, I love that she is not abusive, it just looks like i could not come up with anything better, and i actually couldnt. she dosent get that she hurts my feelings often and the problems she creates in my life she thinks are good things she is going the things she thinks are bad like discipline is actually good, im glad she disciplined me as a kid she dosen't discipline my sister at all. she is unemotional and she dosent care when i cry she just says stop your being too sensitive and dosent think she actually hurt ym feelings she says i cry just because i want to cry not because i feel bad. I know im supposed to love my mom but how do i love someone who dosent like me back?

Maybe she is not a emotional person. Empathy doesn't come to her naturally maybe. It's difficult for few people. I don't think she doesn't care for you, it's just that she can't sense your feelings. One needs to tell them explicitly about their feelings to her...so that she understands. I can relate with her to an extent, maybe because I am like her...

So communicate to her...don't expect her to read your mind :-)

dont expect her to read my mind I am way over explicit up to the point where I pretended to be depressed told her that I am going to kill myself and she thought i was joking.she didnt do anything about it, i have asked for a therapist form them for many years my mom says i dont need one and my dad says he can solve my problems. he didn't i said all i could it made him loose respect for mer because i said bad things about my mom.
