How would you feel if your mom didn’t even say she loved you?

Like you just told her you love her and she just said, “love” and she said it pissed off. Having a mom who is in constant depression, and then gets mad at you and your brother and the world for everything is not fun. You can’t even do regular things and when your happy, it just makes her even more furious. Even if she is a good person she hasn’t been herself in a couple months.. Ig you could say ):

I think I would feel very badly about it. I know that I felt very, very hurt at age 11 when my mother announced that I was too old to kiss my parents goodnight. A simple kiss on the cheek and she could not allow it.

The only time I ever remember my mother saying she loved me was after I had my own family and she had made me so angry I had to kick her out of my house. She wrote those words to me for the first time in a letter.

Our parents are never perfect, and we want them to be like tv parents, good and kind and loving...but perfection is often impossible to acheive.

I know it hurts, but instead of dwelling on the awful things your mother does...(which we all do)...try writing down the kind things she has done for you...all that you remember. Each man and woman is not the sum of his or her unkind words and deeds, but the sum of every deed, both good and bad.

I’m glad that someone can see it. She’s in a situation where my dad is controlling and she couldn’t leave or she’d be broke and homeless and my dad provides for us. She had a lot going for her until she became a mom, because she was tricked and now her life is to take care of me and my brother so she’s says. It’s just an unstable household and I try to stay together but at the end of the night I just end up feeding my feelings with smoke and then sleep. I want to change but then all my anxiety comes back and I start to doubt. I feel good sober but have terrible anxiety. I just wish I could stick to my plans or goals. I appreciate and I’m from America @4meAndyou

@SadStar Your mother needs to get a job...but that is not your problem. She needs to leave your father....but that is not your problem. Go and live your life, and try to leave home as quickly as you can.

She’s always tired and just not contempt. I stay to myself a lot which can make her feel lonely but when I try to talk to her about things she gets mad and even said she would put me on restriction for something she allowed. It’s just a lot of complicated mess. And I’m trying to figure it all out. I have a job but it doesn’t pay enough for me to just leave and I have a younger brother. I don’t have the heart to.@4meAndyou

My step daughter is 16 and she has a mother that struggles with addiction. Her mom blames her for things that aren't her fault or she has no control over. My SD has found a lot of help from the group Young Life. They support the teenagers and have fun. Young Life is everywhere in every country I think.

I’d feel very sad that she was suffering and encourage her to get help.

I am sorry you are experiencing this. It is so devastating when they can't reciprocate
Especially when it's mom. Did she used to before the depression?
