So I found out my daughter has mental health issues, my mom doesn’t want to hear my boho over it even though we live with her (she almost kicked us out for it)
My mom doesn’t like anything I want to wear
She doesn’t want me making my own clothes (something I’ve always wanted to do)
I honestly don’t want to be around her anymore but we can’t afford to live on our own yet
She says “I love you” like once a year if that, and hadn’t said it from the ages of about 10 through 26
She’s cold to me, always has been
I have to many feelings for her to be comfortable around around me and she at least acts like she feels nothing and it’s frustrating
I want to move out but we can’t just yet due to having so much debt, it won’t be a while until we can
David and I went out because I couldn’t stand being in the same house as my mom… I didn’t want to go home
It’s really hard to diet around her
I feel stuck

@FreeLunch yeah… I have a brother who doesn’t talk to her or me… she always speaks highly of him and I can’t do ANYTHING right

@HollyHobby @FreeLunch I think I am slipping into a depression over it though

I hope the depression subsides.

@HollyHobby I hope so too but idk at this point… I can’t even do embroidery, cross stitch, or crochet without great effort and even then there’s no joy in it… in group therapy we’ve been doing diamond art… I hardly wanted to do that today either… Life seems dark right now… I am glad I know about my daughter… but I kinda wish I didn’t know… it hurts so bad

Sometimes life just takes a while to get through. You have to envision a future you want and go for it.
Don’t let your mean ass mom get you down. And I’m sure ur daughter will be just fine!

I agree with @FreeLunch. I think she’ll be fine too. If you believe that, the depression might lift. Her adopted mom/dad I’m sure are working hard on it.

@HollyHobby I know but I was bullied as a kid/teen for my mental illnesses and I don’t want her to feel different than other kids
@FreeLunch @HollyHobby @Happy_H part of me wishes I didn’t know about my daughter’s mental health issues… Part of me wishes I didn’t know the adoptive mom

@HollyHobby @FreeLunch @Happy_H my mom says me losing my daughter was like her having a miscarriage right after finding out she was pregnant

I think it’s good you know about it because you’re her birth mother. You shouldn’t look at it that way. Ignorance may be bliss but I think that in this scenario it’s not the case.
