Hi,

I used to be upset, disappointed, and angry with my mother for not caring about me.....for not showing that she cares....which is the same thing for all practical purposes.

Then I grew up. Over the past 25 years I have worked with counselors and so forth on not beating myself up. I have also learned not to expect anything from her.
I feel that I have almost reached my goals. Soon it won't bother me that we can not have a good relationship.
I'll be free. This makes me sad.
M.
