Is it normal to feel envious seeing other people with loving mothers?

My late mom abandoned us when I was 8. I never really had a loving mother. She resented me. When I see my friends with their mothers I get bitter and envious. Why can't my mom be like other moms? She left because of my diagnoses of autism. She didn't want a "disabled child." She admitted that to me and it hurt me so bad. My dad said to me when he met a woman, she though she be a great mother to my brothers and I but unfortunately it didn't turn out that way. He knows I need a mother and female role model. My aunt stepped in to help especially with me because I needed a female around to help me become a woman when my mom should have been the one doing that. Im grateful for my aunt for what she's done for me. My mom is dead now. Died of an overdose five months ago. I'll never have a mother and daughter relationship! 馃槶馃槶

I'm so sorry. my mom is the one who put the autism awareness sticker on the fridge, she's amazing. she accepted me as disabled.

she understands it isn't purely a disability, it's a gift AND a curse.

@BetweenKittensandRiots Humph! At least you HAVE a mother that wants to be in your life. My mom didn't want anything to do with me and I have always hated Mother's Day because my bros and I are reminded that are mother wasn't in your lives and this Mothers Day was the worst because my mommy died two days before. My friends habe amazing strong mothers and I would present that their mothers were mine.
@ElizabethBabe1994 yeah girls like you remind me I have privilege... I'm not in denial. if I had a magic wand i'd give you what I had but I ain't god.

@BetweenKittensandRiots Whats that suppose to mean?
@ElizabethBabe1994 I Am admitting that I am the product of privilege... I have something you want but if I could give it to you I would. mum tends to take in strays though....


it's just her nature, she'd have love for you.

@BetweenKittensandRiots Oooh okay. Yeah. I'll never have a mother/daughter relationship now.
@ElizabethBabe1994 it sucks autism is like having a gay kid for some parents...
