I don’t feel like my mum has time for me, and she doesn’t listen
to what I say. Very often our conversations turn into her telling me what’s
happening, rather then me answering her “Hows things Question”
I always call her, travel to see her and make the effort
to see her. However when the responsibility to organise to see each other is on
her she tells me she is too tired to drive, or simply doesn’t talk to me or
respond to messages. We live about four hours apart however she holidays where I
live and she sees a specialist doctor in my local area, she always complains
that I never see her but cant tell me when she is in my area or she does tell
me but will not answer messages I leave to organise to see her when she’s
around.
Having left a serious relationship recently she offered
help in the form of paying my phone bill however when I asked for help she has left
me disappointed, telling me she had her own bills. This answer would be fine
however she later posted updates on her California Holiday she had taken my step
sister and brothers on without telling myself. She does this often telling me
that everyone has their own life, she cant always help.
I feel quite abandoned and disappointed and don’t know how
to bring it up with her? What could be some conversation strategies I could
use?
