I always wanted a mum

I have never really had what you could call a mum, The woman who gave birth to me was in my life for a few years but it was my grandparents who raised me. The few years I did spend with her were for many reasons the worst of my life. I have always longed for the sort of close relationship I think a mother and daughter should have, I just don't know how to get past the fact that I will never have it. I have no family other than my husband and child and its so lonely.
How do I move on and let go of my childhood (or lack of it), how can I be happy without a family when it is all I have ever wanted? Posted on 09/14/09, 10:09 am |

I can fully relate; although I must say be glad you at very least have your husband and child.
Some of us don't even have that.

I understand you. I was also raised by my grandparents, my mom was on drugs and wanted to abort me, my father begged her to have me and then she could walk away. She did but she appeared off and on during my life, but when she did it was never happy, it was always horrible. For me, it was hard to mother my child, because I didnt have that mothering for myself. I still struggle with it when i am faced with new challenges. My heart goes out to you.

Hi silentfall, I hear you but to be honest I don't have my husband thats the problem, we might be married but we may as well be strangers, he's moving out soon, so yes I have my daughter but I don't have anyone I can turn to for help, or a shoulder to lean on when I need it

i can relate to this. i just posted "grieving" under advice and joined this group today. my mom is alive and yet not emotionally available or that loving soul that i think we all want and need.. i too often feel like i have this huge whole in me. I fear that it will always be there and im not sure how to heal this. I often feel like im the only one who feels this way. my family is not healthy for me to be around and so i made this choice and yet i still feel such a loss. I feel like i have talked all my friends to death about this and it still hurts so much. I am afraid about the holidays coming as this is always a hard time. Im not sure that any of this helps you but i felt like i can relate in some ways to you.

Ah, I'm sorry, I understand better now Leigh...
I'm very sorry. I'm in the same boat, nowhere to turn. I always hope I can find a sort of 'surrogate' for a mother. Something... Wishing you love, Kimberley
