I always wanted my mom to love me like everyone else mom do😭😭 That’s all I ever wanted but it took me 23 years to understand I WILL NEVER have that

I remember being around your age when I finally had the courage to call my mother out for how she treated me. I can't say it accomplished much at the time, but at least I started that process of accepting a painful truth.

But life can throw us a meaningful curveball every once in a while. When my mother was dying, I was the only one left to look after her. It's just who I was. I was a mother myself. She noticed that and many other things she "missed" when I was younger. I would never trade that time with her for anything in the world. For just a blip of time, I had a "mother".

With that said, I really remember being a young girl and wishing I had a mom like what my friends seem to have. It was a hurt that went so deep.

I wish all people could be born into places where they know they are loved from day one.

I'm sorry you have this hurt in your life.

I went through that with both parents...so sorry you are experiencing that...make the best of it and move forward if you can...I turned it around and loved my own kids as much as possible.
