Missing my mom
Show your support
I have a mother with a mental illness. I’ve never had a maternal bond. My sister and I were the victims of her unmanaged psychosis. We’ve had to completely cut ties and live as if she’s gone. However it also completely wrecked my relationship with my sister as well. I want so badly for my children to have a mother and siblings that I never had. My dad remarried late in life and this woman amazing with her adult children and she tries to keep me included as much as possible but even that sliver of maternal attention is such a blessing. I can’t imagine the love a child must have for their mother.
My mother and I aren't close. I hope my child feels the way about me that you feel about your mom. Sounds like you have a very special bond 🥰
Not my mom because we have never had the best relationship but I do miss my dad all the time. He lives 10 minutes down the road but works all the time so I don’t see him much. I was always closer to my dad and papaw and once my papaw pasted 10 years ago I started spending as much time with my dad as possible even living with him full time before I was an adult. Dont hold yourself back if the relationship is there and you want to see her do it. I wish I had a mother that was there for me but she picked other things over her kids when i was little that caused a of hurt growing up that now I only see her at holidays and even then I’m ready to leave after a few minutes of being there.
I feel you girl. My mom lives in a whole different continent and she won't be able to come visit me 😭. She will be coming after my delivery, I am missing her daily, I cry every alternative day and night. I feel so lonely in this entire journey as I'm a first time mom. Hope it gets better. Maybe it's normal to feel this way. Stay strong
Could be the maternal bond. I just lost my mom last week to a brain aneurysm. Definitely, go visit your momma while you can. Sometimes, our instincts are strong in this way for a reason. Listen to your gut and emotions. I'm just glad I got to talk to my mom for a while on the phone before this happened to her. My last words were, "I love you!"
