Am I allowed to be mad at my mom for missing my dance recital
So I had a dance recital over the weekend and I was very excited for it! I’m 26 and quit dance for 8 years after a car accident and this is my first dance recital In 8 years. It cost 20$ for a ticket(important detail) 6 weeks prior to the recital I informed my family that tickets were on sale, my brother and sister in law immediately purchased tickets without a 2nd thought. When I approached my mother about it she immediately went “ I have no money”. She works a full time job and does Instacart on the side for extra money so I feel as tho if she wanted to she could have came.
One part of me feels guilty for being angry because she is my mom and has done for me my whole life
The other part of me feels angry because if I miss a sporting event for my younger sister, then she would yell at me but made no attempts to support me. But will drive 30 min out of her way for an event of hers or spend whatever money Is necessary
A part of me wants to confront her about it, but she can be very manipulative and argumentative to the point where I yield and leave the conversation but now I feel like I’m bottling my emotions and I’m unsure what to do
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated!
Is she the problem or am I having bad middle child syndrome
