Seems like whenever I'm in a time of crisis, no one is there. I am completely and entirely alone.

You are the complete opposite of a selfish person. There isn't anything selfish about wanting comfort, especially from your parent. It's not up to you to make her happy. That's on her, and she should know that. I understand how you feel about wanting someone to be there for you, because I wanted the same thing when I was younger. Keep posting. Maybe we can bring you comfort. I know it's not the same thing of course. But we're here for you too.
