Experiencing something awful!
Hi everyone,
I am reaching out for some kind words and some advice because I am really unsure what is happening for me right now. I haven't spoken to either of my parents in probably 2 weeks now and for the past three days now I have been feeling very unwell indeed because of it. I am most unsure that I could express what kind of relationship I have with my mum and dad other than to say that I think they are not interested in me at all (hence why they can go for over two weeks without even speaking to me). My relationship with my mum and dad has been awful ever since I moved out of home over 8 years ago.
I want to explain to you all that I have tried talking about this whole 'not talking to me' thing directly with my mother. I explained to her that her not talking to me is causing me a significant amount of stress and is making me feel very unwell indeed. My mum's response to me saying this is to say "I don't call your brother either" (this other brother is also not living at home).
I really am unsure how to cope with this. I have spoken to my very closest friends and all of my friends are agreed that the way my mother is talking to me is not right at all. My friends have also explained that both my parents are responsible for their own behaviour and I am not to blame for them treating me the way they are.
