Hi, welcome
You are not alone with this problem. Many people’s mum is deceased, estranged or not close to them. I feel the same when I see brothers together and miss my only brother that suicided in 1978 at 26yo.
But I have a loving sister and some don’t have a sibling at all.
So as crass as this sounds try to celebrate /appreciate what you have and not dwell on what you haven’t.
I hope that makes sense
repost anytime

Hello Jasmine R
It would be difficult (and heartbreaking) on mothers day for you. Can I ask if you have the ability to contact your mum on mothers day? I understand this would be very hard to do with your own circumstances
I feel your pain as there are many people in the same sad situation too
we are here and listening Jasmine R
my kind thoughts
Paul

Hey Jasmine
not being able to wish your mum 'happy mothers day' would be painful for anyone....especially for yourself
my mum is nearly 90 and a 'foster child' too....mum has mentioned the same Jasmine....I dont know anything about her mum (my grandma) as she doesnt either....It is very difficult
Trust issues are very common on the forums too.....(me included)
you are not alone Jasmine
my kind thoughts
