Yesterday was my mother's 75th Birthday. She passed away Jan 13th, 2012. It was a Friday the 13th, and I still feel nothing for her. I wonder if I ever will. Anything, pain, forgiveness, anything. I never even cried for ether of my parents.

My parents are both long since gone now. I couldn't even tell you when each of them died. I flew back for my mother's funeral... she died first... but not my father's. I guess they tried the best they knew how in raising me. And, had they had a normal kid, perhaps it would all have gone well. But I doubt I was ever a normal kid. And they had no idea. Way back then, kids just grew up. And whatever happened... happened. I don't miss them. And I rarely think about them. It all just was what it was...

It's ok if you don't feel anything. That happens to a lot of people although I don't know how close you were to your mom. Perhaps that's the reason?

My dad died May this year and I feel nothing too, I haven't even cried. My mum also died in 2012 and we fell out about 6 months before she died and I felt nothing but guilt since.

My dad died some years ago. I’m not sure how many it has been. I cried for 3 days when he died. I didn’t really know the emotion I was feeling at that time, only an emptiness. Looking back, it was three days of tears for what I never had in relation to him as my dad.

After that, there have been no tears and I do not visit his burial place. I have been 2 times for specific purposes years ago.

My mom is in her 80s. I’m not sure what that will look like.

I guess the sad part is I may never feel anything for ether of them, the rest of my life.

I have thought something must be wrong with me... because I don’t feel much of anything anymore with regard to my parents... There is a long history of problems that go back as far as I can remember.... my parents just argue with me... my mother insults me. I couldn’t take it anymore. We don’t talk... I grieved over it for years. I feel nothing anymore and can’t imagine that will change when they pass away... I’m sure they have always done and continue to do what they think is best... I often feel sad that my whole family situation is just a mess.... I’ve made my own share of mistakes too... We can’t control and fix everything though... ❤️
