Motherdays is next sunday (at least here). Lord please give me the strenght to not reach out to my mom after her horrible behaviour at my place 2 weeks ago.
And if standing my ground for mothersday isn’t enough, my birthday is the week after.
I currently hate my mom but for some reason i always end up back hoping she will give me some love. She might a tiny bit but it’s unpredictable and I deserve better
Please give me some words of encouragement
My parents are notoriously bad at giving me a birthday gift. Forgot about that until this weekend when I was having a coffee with them.
As I will be turning 30 next month it came up. Mum asked if I wanted to celebrate and I enthusiastically tell her my plans. She rolls her eyes, tells me it is a stupid plan and she doesn’t want to come because she doesn’t want to be around young people aka my friends.
Then the topic of gifts came up. My dad has learned the hard way to run things by me before randomly giving me shit. So they thought since I started going camping last year they offered me as a gift that I can borrow their car and drive somewhere to camp. I have my own car and I would need to pay for the gas. If I ask, when can switch cars anytime.
And now the ✨gifts✨ from the past couple of years (note that my parents are very well of and not at all short on money)
How do your parents celebrate your birthday?
