mums without mums 💔😪

Anyone else no contact with their mum or other family members? It is so hard and isolating, I wish I could have had that perfect family, my baby should have grandma and other family!! I tried so many times to fix it and to deal with my mom and at least try to stay cordial and ignore her remarks but my mom was always so overly dramatic and mean to me, she even said I’m not her child anymore and to not come around for holidays about 4 years ago because she didn’t like the guy I’m with 💔😪 Our relationship was always strained since I was a child too..

Hi! I lost my mom to cancer when I was 10 and I am no contact with my step mom, was little contact with my dad and he passed away last year.

I have been focusing on my found family and building that out more. Happy to DM about being no contact with parents. Lots of experience.

My mom passed in 2022 but I was low contact with her and I know I wouldn't have really allowed her around my kids. Its so hard but thankfully I have a good mother in law but its not the same.

Yes x ive been no contact with my mum for 4 years, i know how hard it is to want a family and craving a stable relationship with your family x i literally am bringing no family on my side to my kids because they are all not very nice people, i also watch my partner have such an amazing family which is hard aswell because i want that x its definitely something that you shouldn’t have to experience, i hope you’re okay

Hey!!🥺🩷I went no contact right before last Christmas. It was the hardest on my 2 year old. She was almost 2 at the time and she was a nana’s girl even tho nana only cared about herself.

My mom was… not a great mother. She used to threaten to hurt me when she could no longer get away with doing it. She used to financially abuse me as I’ve been on SSI since I was 18 and we lived together on and off even into my adulthood up until last year. She constantly said mean things. Tried to hurt me in some way because she felt like her own life was in shambles etc etc. everything was always a competition or what we as her children could provide for her in return for her help. My little brother went no contact with her 6 months or so prior to me. And almost none of her ex husbands kids talk to her anymore, he has 4. She burned every bridge she’s had. Her sister doesn’t talk to her anymore. I lost the better part of 20 years with my dad because of her bitter baby mama bullshit.

I chose to go no contact about 10 years ago. I don’t miss her, I miss the experience I never got of a real mother. Now being pregnant it’s even more irritating because I couldn’t imagine treating my girl like she treated me.

I've been no contact with my dad since March and things are really rocky with my mum at the moment. I finally told her some home truths that she didn't like, she read my message but hasn't replied, that was last Thursday 🫠 she's so unreliable and lets us down constantly, she lies about everything and it's just so shit 🫠

Where's my bestie😩

I am STRUGGLING. how are 35 yr olds supposed to make friends??? I feel alone. The friends I have are the ones you say you guys will make plans and never do. Everyone around here is so different from me. I play video games, they ride four wheelers, I listen to all music, they listen to country, I'm covered in tattoos and piercings, they have nothing, I have 4 kids they are just having their first. I have 6 dogs they have no pets. I want to find my person. The person I can share everyrhing with. Face time if we live to far apart, play games, etc. I need a Christina to my meredith 😂😂

I don’t think I’m meant to have friends..

This is just me rambling and getting my feelings out so apologies if it’s a little jumbled.

At this rate I’m starting to think I’m not meant to have any meaningful friendships. I have always been the friend who reaches out first, plans the outings, host the monthly girls night, and makes an effort to be a good friend. So, lately I’ve stepped back and well, now my feelings are hurt. Bad.

It started a year ago. I was 9 months pregnant and told my group of girlfriends that I would not be able to host our monthly girls night. They all immediately chipped in saying they’ll take over while I navigate a newborn and motherhood. Fantastic! Not. No one hosted or even discussed it after that. But many of them made sure to mention they miss girls craft night and miss everyone and we need to do something soon. No plans occurred or were planned.

Now onto the biggest confirmation. My birthday was completely ignored/forgotten/skipped. This group of friends and I have ALWAYS celebrated birthdays. Whatever the birthday girl wanted. Movies, dinner, bookstore crawl, game night, paint pottery. It was done (within reason). But this year I was skipped. I was asked when and what I wanted to do. I gave them dates and told them just lowkey dinner and maybe a movie. Did I hear anything back? No. Did I ask? No, but how do you ask when you’re already struggling with feeling like an outcast?

I dont know if it’s hormones, my anxiety, or if I just give too much of myself to people. I want so badly to have friends who love and cherish me as I do for them. Someone who reaches out if they don’t hear from me for a day or two. I know being a mom is busy and hard but I can’t see how hard it is to send a simple text saying ‘hey, I’m thinking about you.’
