I can understand the hurt you are feeling. I have a good friend whose mother always treated her like she hated her & yet her sisters could do no wrong & she constantly communicated with them....I know how hurt she is by that treatment & how it has effected her self esteme all her life. Her mother has since backed down, but doesn't act like she ever loved my friend like the rest of her children.

I do however think that you best action would be to call when you agreed to call....keep up your side of the agreement whether or not she does hers. That might just show her that even if she is too busy or whatever her excuse is for not being able to hold up her end of the commitment. She might be a bit like me in some cases & when I feel like I HAVE to do something then I tend to not want to.....it has to be because I WANT to do something that I will do it freely. You Mother might be dealing with an issue like that which she might not even understand exists. It took me awhile to realize that this was how I feel about situations that make me feel like I HAVE TO do something even when it is with family or close friends.

Take a step back & maybe make your communications a when you have a chance & see if that might make a difference with her.....you can still call when you have a chance on your side of the deal, but don't worry about it. It's important to take stress out of communications with family.....just see if a less stressful approach might work out....then both will feel better. Sometimes we have to check our jealousy in our feelings that others are being treated better than we are. There are reasons that hurt for sure, but sometimes we just have to accept the way things are in the family life & let go of the hurt & accept what we get as the best others can give. It's hard & yes, sometimes impossible, but worth a try to keep your own peace within yourself.

I am sad that you have been treated like this....it isn't fair & it's sad that life isn't fair to us & that family can't treat us with respect.....but it happens no matter how wrong it is.

Do what you need to protect your own feelings..that is what is really important,
