Struggling
Just alittle background
im not sure if my mum is a narcissistic, but she is very much all about her. my life isn’t important.
I would always try and work around her and make her happy. till I had my two boys, and when I realised she didn’t care about them or me.
for instance, she never came to my babyshower. she never asks about the boys or is interested in them.
My mum isn’t very well mentally and I think she is depressed but It still hurts a lot.
I’ve tried to get close to my MIL and we had a good relationship and we often rang each other and she came to help when both my boys were born.
now it’s changed I don’t know why?
but she’s not really interested in the boys anymore. We went to stay they live a plane ride away, and the boys seemed like an inconvenience to them. My boys are 4 and 2.
Anyway, I used to send milestone pics or random things that were happening during the day and I’ve stopped.
she seems to be have no interest.
my friends all have strong family connections that love their kids, buy them things, tske them to fun places, and we don’t.
it just hurts.
sorry for the long vent
