I really do
I spent the whole night crying in bed. I have depression and anxiety but this is just my family problems. My mother and "best friend" in particular. I feel like they only are around when they need something from me.
My Mom has spent over a week busting her butt 10-12 hours a day (I am not exaggerating either!) helping her twin sister get ready for a baby shower today for her twin sisters first grandbaby on the way.
I can understand the excitement, but do you know how much she helped with my baby shower? Zip, 0, Zilch, Nada.
It hurts really bad but it's been like that my whole life and it shouldn't shock me. Like I've never been special enough for her. I am an only child, shouldn't I be?
She is constantly bending over backwards for other people and leaving me sitting on the sidelines.
Today, is the shower. She was supposed to pick up me and my kids at 10:30am. Here I sit at 11:51 and she's probably not even on her way yet.
I asked her to please make sure we had enough for me to stop at the craft store two minutes from where the shower is, because I need a yarn needle to sew up the baby booties I made as part of my gift. She says to me "Not my fault or problem if you don't get there".
What a (insert name for female dog). I spent every free moment I had yesterday knitting those booties. I spent some of my bill money to buy a small gift for this woman, who may very well be having a child with my cousin, BUT I HAVE NEVER MET HER!
And for a week, I have offered to help in any way I could. No one wanted my help, my Mom even picked out the yarn for these booties, and now she wants to act like that.
No picnic for me either. I single handedly fed and cared for over 60 animals this morning, cleaned house, finished booties, fed and washed and dressed three children in their best and have been ready to go since 10am.
She is always, ALWAYS late. But only when it comes to me. She will blow me off, and not even call and say she's not coming. I am so sick of it.
And that's just the way I'm feeling about my Mother right now, then there is issues with friends and the other side of the family.. I just want to hide under a rock!
