I want to stay over at my mum’s for a day or 2. Just with my youngest. I said he can look after my eldest if he wants to as he doesn’t want me going in the first place. He thinks it’s going to become habit. I find it a bit unfair. He doesn’t like my mum and he’s told me his reasons and I get it.. she’s said stuff in the past she shouldn’t have etc.. I just want to spend time with her before it’s too late. I want to feel like a daughter again. I just feel like I’ve been on mum mode for so long and just worrying about everyone else. I want it to be like how it used to. I guess part of me just wants to escape this life right now. I’ve been feeling really low mentally so I thought it would do me some good. Even though I will miss my husband and eldest whilst I’m there but I won’t get this time back with my parents as they’re getting older… am I wrong for feeling how I do.. I just feel really upset about it all. He’s told me it’s my decision but also that he’s just protecting his family…

Mums always say things they shouldn’t.. tbh everytime I go stay at mums I come back disappointed and say never again etc but then I always find myself going back there . It’s still a break of some sort and we don’t realise how much we need it.
Also she’s still your mum, not some auntie or stranger.
