Thoughtsinpink,

Sometimes children can be too 'spoilt' or may not have enough empathy for parents, especially if they're young. This may change over time. Or they may be holding resentments.

Please don't give into the pain too much, stay strong. You did the best you could - it's better to reexamine how to improve your life now, so you will not depend on your child so much - can you find new friends, join a course or a charity or other activities... Then, when you are okay, maybe the child will 'come back' to you with admiration or realization that you were a good mom after all! Hope you will manage to work things out!
