This happened to me earlier this weekend. My mother tells me to ask for her help, she can't read minds. Blah blah blah... I had to drop my car off on Friday night for new brakes on Saturday. I called my mother on Tuesday when I made the appointment, confirmed on Friday morning at 10 am that she would be picking me up at 7 when I dropped off my car and would take me to my house. 7 came and went, 7:10 I called because I was getting cold waiting. No answer, sent a text. 7:15 I made one last phone call.... she took her brother to visit his granddaughter and couldn't make it to give me a ride but next time for sure.

I told her there wouldn't be a next time. I wouldn't be asking for her help because it hurts too much to not receive the help she says she'll give but never does. I splurged on an Uber and called it self care lol.

I think of the old thread getting new life as a sign from the universe to not give up. Someone out there has felt let down in the past and someone else felt it was relevant to their life enough to comment. I'm definitely not as alone in things that happen in life.
