My Mother Said She Wouldn't Die For Me.

[LostSoul89]

Morning all!

I've contemplated posting this for days but feared I'd look stupid. The back story is, me, my mum and my 18 year old daughter were watching a film the other night where hostages were being held at gun point and two of them were mother and son. The mother begged for her life to be taken to save her sons.

My daughter asked me if I'd do that for her, to which I replied "Of course, no doubt about it DD" . My daughter then asked my mum if she would do the same for me, to which she hastily replied "No". We thought she was joking at first but she was adamant she would put herself first. I got quite upset and said I would rather she had just lied to me.

It's not even the first time she's shown how selfish she is - two weeks ago I was staying at hers overnight and we thought we heard an intruder and she practically pushed me down the stairs to go and check! To add insult to injury - my mum is a fit, young 60 year old and I have disabilities that require a walking stick to walk.

Some people might think I'm being pathetic but I'm so hurt, I can stop thinking about what she said to me. I could maybe understand if I was a douche bag of a daughter but I'm not.

AIBU?

I really think that even if this is what your mother thinks, she could have lied just to protect your feelings. You were never going to find out the truth. I feel for you x

wombat15 You seem to have an unusual interest in what I have to say. Have I perhaps touched a nerve.? And yes my family has been affected by all the things I mention as have many other people across the country. We do not yet know how badly the covid restrictions will influence our lives in the future. I said at the beginning we were wrong to sacrifice the young to save the old and nothing I have learnt in the last four years has changed my mind.
