My mother always talks about how much of a wonderful dad her father is (my grandfather) and how he will support her in anything etc.
My own father however, might as well be non existent. He's never been supportive in any way, emotionally, financially etc.
I have tried to explain how it's upsetting for me to have to listen to her talk about how amazing her father is all the time when I don't really have one.
There's definitely some resentment on my end, for her not choosing a better person to be the father to her children, but there's nothing that can be done about that now.
She will mention how her father will do anything for her, but my grandfather and I have quite a strained relationship, and so what he would do for my mother, he wouldn't do for me.
AIBU to be a little frustrated with my mother sometimes?
I feel like it's a bit insensitive of her.
