[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 606718, member: 1550"] I am so sorry, hon. I know you are much younger than me and I will never forget the hurt of my mother's favortism toward my brother a nd sister and how she gave up on me, not even ever meeting my two youngest children. She saw Julie, who is now 29, when she was six years old and never saw any of my kids again. Her reason was that I was a terrible person and that she doesn't like my husband who would stick up for me. Maybe he shouldn't have stuck up for me, but he would take up for me when my mother called me names and told me how deficient I was. She refused to come to our wedding (I lived with husband before we married). Often being a difficult child means you see the problems in the family and perhaps talk about them and that sets everyone on edge. I was THAT sort of difficult child. Plus I always played by my own rules. I didn't help myself much with my family, but I'm not particularly sorry that I didn't. They were in my opinion pretty awful and dysfunctional. Perhaps that is like you. Please, as bad as you feel, don't take your mother's actions personally. Her actions are fueled by her own dirty garbage from the past. It isn't your fault and you are a GOOD mother. Sending major hugs. I'd be honored to have a daughter like you. A good daughter cares about the feelings of ALL of her children. Your mom is deliberately causing trouble and acting like it's your fault when you point it out. [/QUOTE]
