Me: struggling with health issues and about to lose large number of possessions due to situation which wasn't my fault.
Mother: well I can't really help you at the moment as I've just got back from holiday which was nice but expensive and Christmas is coming up. We live some distance away and she is very involved with my half siblings who live with and near her. I get that I'm an adult but this just sounds off to me Edit: just realised I should have put this under relationships. Last edited by lilacsnow; Nov 18, 2018 at 07:22 PM. |

After posting this, perhaps I should have explained that when Ive been through stressful times sometimes it seems very much like my mother wants to distance herself or isnt emotionally available.
This is in contrast to support shown to my siblings. Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm reading too much into comments. She knows that I've been under a great deal of stress just lately yet she doesn't ring or message to ask how things are going. |

So after posting above I realise I was over stressing about a situation and reading lots into her comments, I suppose expecting an off response.
We've spoken now and thankfully I'm somewhat reassured. |

Hi nels and MickeyCheeky, thanks very much for your replies - I must admit I still struggle with the relationship at times but I think she's stretched with other commitments.
Is it normal for a person to give themselves something of higher value than to their child? For example a better item of furniture or a better art set or clothing? Sometimes I feel she wants me to struggle but at the same time, I'm not working for health reasons so i guess it's inevitable that I'm worse off and have to accept that. I just don't know what's normal. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
