My mom isn't even interested like she wasn't 25 years ago. Should I just forget my mom?

Yes forget her and move on with your life. You don't need your mom.
No. Keep trying. She is your mother.

My mom was barely part of my life. She left us when I was five. It effected is but I feel like it effected me more than my brothers. When guy stuff, they can talk to Dad but I couldn't tell my mom about my period because she wasn't there when I needed her! She was too busy fulfilling her needs and herself! Mom missed out on be becoming a young woman. So my aunt and Grandma had to fill in that role.
Mothers Day I hated that day so much! Still do. Two weeks ago, my mom was suppose to meet up with me but she STOOD ME UP ONCE AGAIN! Honestly, it didn't surprise me. She's done it before. She NEVER apologized or felt horrible for that. My family and friends warned me and tell me I'm too stubborn to listen. I waited for four house she never showed up. I texted her, confronting her why she didn't show up she did this before. She told me harshly, "Look, I don't see you or your brothers as my children anymore. I mean I haven't been around so I don't see you as my daughter. You're no longer my children so see ya, whenever." Something like that. That crushed me HARD. My family and friends told me to move on with my life and I don't need my mom. They said, "I told you so. Face it, your mother doesn't want you."
I'll never have that loving mother I wanted.

I'm truly sorry she did that to you. Unfortunately we get the luck of the draw when it comes to our parents. Some people are lucky. Some of us not. Please, listen to your family & friends and don't waste your time on her anymore. It's obvious from her actions and words that she's a selfish woman who will always disappoint you. You're lucky you have other women in your life who provided the mothering you needed. Use them as role models & spend time with them. Sadly, it's time to close the chapter with her & move on. Guaranteed, she will contact you down the road only when she needs something. When that happens, remember how she treated you, was never there for you, and, that you owe her nothing.

@SW-User I guess. At least my aunts and my grandmother were there. I'm very blessed to have them. Some of my older cousins said, "You are more than welcome to talk to our moms. We don't mind."

@NotValid That's nice. I don't have any extended family, aunts & cousins. So, take advantage of that.

@SW-User Yeah. My best friend said I'm very lucky. I envy my cousins because they are close to my aunts (their mothers). Me? I don't have that. I'm left in the cold.
