Hi Sweetie ! I'm so very sorry your relationship with your Mom isn't very good. And I'm SURE it's not because your Mom doesn't love you -- I'm sure it's more that she's been pre-occupied, but I'm not excusing her behavior. Mothers SHOULD show their children more love and attention than you got. My mother was like yours -- I got NO attention whatsoever. I could be on fire, and she'd just tell me to go take a shower.

And I know this lack of attention follows you well into your older years. Have you have sat down with your mother and tried to talk this out? Why not ask her to sit down with you and have a chat? Perhaps you could get this settled just by having a talk. But if you feel you can't ask her, then I feel you should see a therapist. Therapy has don't wonders for me and my issues with my mother. Talk with your medical doctor and get a referral to a good therapist -- your doctor will know the name of a good one, and will set up an appointment for you. The sooner you get in the better.

I wish you the very best. Please let us know how things work out, ok? I'd really like to know. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
