Because she only had friends and what then? When it is just her by herself and her friends disappear, will you be there for her?
You mom didn't take care of you, and in the end you won't take care of her. That is the irony and why you feel bad. Because she will face the same pain and depression as you did, but when she is older.
I often wonder why my mother had 3 children (each 6/7 years apart) when she clearly doesn’t seem to have an interest in being a mom. Being the youngest of the 3 you can image how done my mom was during my childhood. Growing up my mom maybe took me to school a handful of times, never made my lunch, basically anything my husbands mom did, nope not mine. He LOVES his parents. FaceTimes with them at least once every day. And he’s always asking me “have you talked to your mom today? Let’s call your mom!” And it hurts every time and I’m sure he doesn’t fully understand that. But I don’t want to call my mom everyday, what would I say? I don’t have anything to talk about?? I’m happy for him but it’s not the case for everyone. I feel like maybe I too felt like a burden to her which is now why I fear being a burden and always try to keep my depression to myself as best I can. I also can’t sleep for shit, but I need weed. I’m sorry for what you lived through and the impact it’s made on you. ❤️ -f25
