My parents divorced when I was young. There was a lot of fighting between them before and after.
I never had a good relationship with either of them. There was a year that I did not even talk to my mom because she moved and changed phone numbers, but did not tell me. She had told my younger sister and older brother (I am the middle child, my half sister is the oldest, who has a different dad) her address and number, but I didnt have very good relationship with them either at the time ( I had just graduated high school).
I moved about an 45 minute drive from where I lived to go to college... My mom never came to visit me.
I was accepted a job in Maryland, only 1800 miles from home, but she didnt care.
I came home for vacation during that time but she didnt seem to care while I was there. But she questioned me why I wanted to go see my friends from college.
I moved back home after my dad died. There is a lot I could write about my dad but he has already passed. I was able to make some what of an amends with him before he passed.
After I moved back home (same state I grew up in), I tried calling my mom at least once a week, but she was too busy with my younger sister and her kids, or my half sister to talk to me.
My older brother had a mental break down after my dad died and moved in with my mom.
After that year that my mom didnt even talk to me, she used to call me at least once a month. It has gotten to where she does not call me at all. In the past 4 years she has called me 2 times, one time because there was a problem with my older brother and the other time because there was a problem with my younger sister.
I dont get invited over for holidays unless I call and ask if I can come.
I called my mom one time and she asked "who is this" I told her Jason several times before she realized it was her son.
After moving back to my home state, I have bought a new home. My mom told me she would come she my home the day I bought it. When I called her that day she said she was busy. I have lived in this house for 7 months now and she still has not come to see it or me.....
I invited my mom to my home for dinner 2 weeks in advance. I cooked everything, but she never showed up.... That was the first time I cried since my dad died...
My mom always has an excuse to not talk to me or see me. My mom is always busy with my siblings and my sister's kids.
She never seems to have time for me..???
She has never called me to ask about school, work, relationships...
I have been depressed as a teenager, but I had things to focus on and strive for. Now Im an adult I got through college with out my family, lived across country on my own, but Im still fighting depression and I dont have any family to help. After moving several time I have lost touch with friends who usually brought me out of this depression.
