My mum an I have a strained relationship. She's quite difficult, for example, I have a chronic pain illness that has effected me my entire life but since I have been diagnosed apparently my mum has it too (she doesn't, she can't, she hasn't had a womb for two decades).
This week has been horrendous. I lost my job unfairly and with no warning and I've been really ill and DP and I have split up but are thinking of trying to make it work and I called her to talk and after 40 minutes of her talking about when her and dad divorced (fifteen years ago, affair, nothing like me and DP) and then her talking for another 20 minutes about how I should probably go on benefits because it's easier (I'm crying by the way, full on sobbing sat on the floor next to the washing machine) she then spends another ten talking about how my one of my brothers is ill and she's worried about him (he has a cold and won't return her calls because he owes me money and it's that time of the month). I said my signal was going and hung up and just cried some more. I've got an appointment for universal credit in an hour and I look awful.
AIBU to expect a little bit more? I know I won't get it but I'm struggling and I just wanted my bloody Mother.
Tell me I'm not the only one. Please.
