Jac 🇨🇦♾️🏳️🌈📚🤓🧘🏻♀️ :
My mother never pushed back against her mother’s treatment, so she is resentful that I’m not as blindly obedient

Jenn :
My mom is a shell, no real connection just living the roles and protecting the status quo at all cost. She was victimized no doubt, but I’m not repeating that.

This is the biggest hot take. They can parent the child version but as soon as they grow up they don’t know how to have an adult relationship

joropo_mierda :
And I’m resistant to be her first… all she can say is “I want our relationship to be close and loving.” She wants the fun parts of a daughter while putting the emotional onus on me to make it good for her.

100%. I felt like when I met my husband I suddenly was in color and other people could see me. My mom has NEVER kept family or friends in her life and doesn't understand that once I knew better I couldn't go back. 💔

ashjohnson2026 :
I mean yes but also I think a child just knows when they’re not deeply loved

Jessi Brooke by the sea :
they seem bewildered that anything is expected of them at all.. they expect to be able to coerce us to stay in relationship despite their behavior because of the social contract, likely just like their parent did to them.

“But that’s your mom!!” WE DONT HAVE THE SAME FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR WHAT THAT MEANS

my bio family is entirely incapable of deep, meaningful conversation. I don't talk to them any more. my found family consists solely of people who possess the capacity for deep, meaningful conversation.

You got it. The sad part is they don’t want to learn to have better relationships bc it takes vulnerability and courage.

I've never had this so eloquently put into words. 👏

I stoped telling my parents who and how I was and they didn’t know anything.

Both of my parents don’t see my as their child AT ALL. The second I turned 18, they felt like it was a clocking out of a job. They said, we did what is legally required. Good luck.

Right on the money. Ten years no contact and I know she was abused but I couldn’t take it anymore.

My mother is IMPOSSIBLE to connect with. She is so self centered you just can't get there with her. Being around her is exhausting. Best thing my parents ever did was move away from me.

My mom has never really had friends. And she’s exhausting to be around.

I understand and have compassion for this but as an adult child what am I supposed to do with this?

Kelsey Louise 💜 plus size grl :
Totally agree. My mom doesn’t know how to connect with me because I don’t need her anymore and I don’t have kids for her to take care of 🤷♀️

Gelin :
It’s not just that. They don’t listen. They are extremely disrespectful. They don’t actually care, basically pain for no reason.

Nixie :
Ome time because my mom wanted to talk to me for some reason. I told my mom that I felt like she and I were just strangers that lived together and that I felt like we were never close. After that talk it's like the chat never happened. Every time I think about that I feel sad because, she didn't even look hurt that I said that. I feel sad for me, because how can you not even be affected that your own daughter told you she doesn't even think of you as a Mom?

Kara 🇺🇸 in 🇪🇬 :
My mother’s way of connecting with ppl is gossiping and trash talking. She was not a safe person to share a deep emotional connection with. Anything I ever shared with her was used against me. Eventually, I gave up on trying to have a relationship with her. I haven’t spoken to her in 3 yrs.

It’s always been about optics. Not much else

Erin Spradlin :
Exactly. I've been saying for awhile now that I am as close to my mom as she is to the grovery store cashier. It's pointless.
