I have just read on another thread that the poster is having counselling with regard to relationships and it hit me like a wet fish round the chops that my Mum has also ( unintentionally ) not been very supportive of me emotionally. She has been amazing with practical help but she has ignored my emotions. EG when I found out my DH was having an affair and I wanted to ruin his LP collection, all my Mum said was ' Now don't be silly' . I have had a really rough time with DD and she changes the subject if I try and talk to her about it. We were talking this weekend about how she wasn't sure about having children, my Dad was the one who wanted a family. My Mum said " Yes, I wasn't sure but it's too late now" . She has never acknowledged that I may have a reason to be upset even if I'm sobbing down the phone.
It's made me feel sad but quite enlightened , if that makes sense.
