I’m feeling so fed up with my mother.
If you were to meet her you’d probably think she was kind, generous etc. But behind closed doors she is undoubtedly the most bitter person I’ve ever met in my life.
Any time anything nice happens to anyone in our family etc she’ll horrible about it. For instance if someone get a place at university everyone else will congratulate them (and she probably would too - to their face) but all I hear is how it was a piss easy university to get into, anyone could get a place, they’re not even very clever. If someone’s announces they're. pregnant it’s oh how selfish they are to be having a child only to put it in nursery full time at a year old. Anyone who’s ever gotten a promotion has been lucky and how they’re lucky to now have such a wonderfully salary. I could go on all day with examples!
I’m so drained with her. As well as that I feel it’s just so unfair that people have mothers they can turn to with anything and I seem to have the complete opposite. I’m hesitant to tell her anything at all because I know what she’s like. I’d distance myself a lot but my children are fond of her and they don’t really have any other family (DH family live abroad).
I’m hoping someone can make me feel better and tell me they have a mother similar??
