Is rejection from a mother the worst pain? Can you ever get over it?

Although I had a better time in the care system. I was 9 when I went into care. I now can’t form attachments with people through fear of rejection.

I don’t know how it feels to be rejected as a child but when I was extremely delusional I thought my mother wanted me to kill myself and that crap was rough. Going through alot of stuff like that I too find it hard to for healthy attachments. When I start to trust a person my mind attacks them with really mean and negative thoughts …to protect me I think. All I’m saying is the pain of rejection can be devastating…

Same. I actually had several attempts because of it.

I’m so sorry @bobbilly . Just know that not everyone is like your mother. There really are people who will love you and not abandon you.

I’m sorry.

I know the rejection from a parent is a big wound. And makes it hard to trust. Not everybody will be rejecting though. I’ve noticed it helps to start small. Just showing someone a genuine like or dislike, a feeling or opinion, and seeing they don’t leave.

Know you are welcome and appreciated here.

Yes it is, to get over with it I could only remember is this,
where a man who told me a phrase in his shop.
I was in a brass collectors shop where they had all the religious Idols,
then he said I don’t have only two god’s and they are your parent’s.
Then a man appeared from nowhere and says only if they were good parent’s.
Till then I never had a thought that parents can be bad.

I am really sorry @bobbilly it is unimaginable.

I feel such an immense amount of emotional pain from feeling rejected by mom. It’s gotten better the further I remove myself from her but I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover from it

My mom acts like she likes me but I don’t know if she’s like that now because she’s getting on and wants support later, if she’s pretending, or if it’s real. I don’t feel so convinced because she used to hate me.

I think it’s hopefully… Possible to get over it but I don’t think one will ever be the same again.

I don’t think rejection from a mother is, necessarily the worst pain but I think it’s the pain that has the most long term effects.
