I get so uncomfortable interacting with my mom and I feel terrible about it. She’s not a bad person and she wasn’t a terrible mom when I was younger but we’re not close at all and she thinks we are. I feel so awkward around her sometimes it hurts.

Any time she gets drunk or emotional I feel disgusted and I actually can’t stand her touching me. It feels like a stranger. She loves me and I do love her as best I can but if I’m being brutally honest I don’t think she knows herself well enough for me to get to know her and it makes it so hard to feel like we have a real relationship. She’s one of those women who was trained to be everything for a man and when my parents got divorced it really exposed how little of her own life she has.

I’m in a similar situation. I feel incredibly guilty. I see her maybe once a week but I usually put all my effort in that day because it breaks my heart I’m not close with my mother

I don’t blame her for any of it (which makes me feel like even more of a piece of shit) but I don’t know how to relate to her. I feel so horrible that I’m the closest person to her (only child) and we’re still just not very close. But I also know there’s not really anything I can do about it until she makes some serious progress in self discovery. I just hope she does, I wanna be there to get to know her when she figures herself out. But I have nothing left to give until she does.
