mothers who leave

I would dearly love to hear from any grown up daughters whose mother left them as children whatever the circumstances (apart from a mother dying). I am a mother and undergraduate student undertaking my final year dissertation on this sensitive subject. I need to interview a few mothers on their feelings concerning their experience of being left by their mothers. I am very sympathetic to the subject matter and can 100% assure complete privacy. I will not use names or any other personal identifying details in my final dissertation piece. I do not need to interview for a few months but would like to make contact in advance to be able to put you at ease and familiarise you with how we can take this forward. When the interviews do take place I will fit in with what ever is easier for you as per the location. I would be most gratefull for anyones help, many thanks, Abi

anyone can see it though, you don't have to be a member to read MN. And companies searching for email addresses will trace that so you might get a glut of Spam!

Hi Abi, My mum left when I was 9. I struggle to spend time with her now as I believe her parenting is all overcompensating for her desertion if that makes sense!
I'll email you now

My mum left, but it was when I was 18 and my sister was 15. It has caused a lot of issues, but don't know if I was too old to be of interest? CAT me if I can be of help.

My birth mother (I cannot call her Mum) left me when I was four and my sister was two. We were looked after during the day by Nanna and Grandad but lived with Dad as he was working full time.

My abandonment has affected me in so many ways, especially now I have children of my own.

Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to interview me. My birth mother left in 1979 and I am in my early thirties.
