I'm struggling with "Mother didn't want me."

and she had the nerve to add that she did want my sister. I had to live with this jealousy in my heart for so long. I’m truly sorry I have such an obsession with my parents. I think it’s just a false hope that something could change. But it is what it is.

I think your torturing yourself needlessly, @PinCushion . My parents never said they didn’t want me, but my sisters were always the favorites in my family IMO. I don’t let it bother me though. You can’t change it. Why let it rule you?

I think I’ve lost any ability to trust people enough to change.

I might add that I’ have been told that nobody loves you more than your own family. They have invested their time and money into you like no other. Sometimes, I want to defend my family quite fiercely and angrily holler “You’re not my mother.” to my provider. Which would be really stupid because she does so much for me. Yet, I know the connection with my mother is stronger, be it right or wrong.

Mothers love their sons. Fathers love their daughters.

I could have done with less love.

that’s a tough one chordy…
My mum always said that she would be better off without us in the nicest possible way you can imagine… Like don’t ever have children because your life is better… Happier… Less trouble without them
she never said in any of these words
Just very subtly and kindly indicated that we shouldn’t have children
