My mum had problems with alcohol when I was growing up and could occasionally be abusive.
When I was around 15 - I’d moved away from mixing with my primary school friends in secondary and started mixing with a new set of people where my mum didn’t know the parents. Mums of teens reading this can no doubt relate - this is very common for teenage kids.
My much loved Gran - mum’s mum - died just before I turned 15. When I was 15 in general my relationship with mum hit rock bottom.
Anyway one day mum turned round and said to me (because, let’s face it - no one faces the correct way during conversations) - no one of your old school friend’s parents even acknowledged Gran’s death - when Helen (primary friend) lost her Gran I sent Ann (Helen’s Mum) a lovely bunch of flowers. But I’ve received nothing!!!! Me and your current friends’ parents DON’T MIX IN THE SAME CIRCLES !!
Aibu to think my mum was behaving a bit spoilt here ?
Just for context -on a broader level she’s actually the most selfish, spoilt, immature person I’ve come across!
