Is it best just to let go of a parent that just absolutely does not care about you?

My mother and I don't get along and i've made many attempts to get along with her, but in her mind, I am weak for wanting to get along. Why deal with someone with this mentality?Is it best just to let go of a parent that just absolutely does not care about you?
if something like that ruins what you care about most in life, then it probably isn't worth putting stress on. i know its your mom, and you should try to get along with her best you can. she has her own problems too, stress, job, sickness, etc......... sometimes stuff takes time. some people may want to deal with one of this mentality, others dont. so go figure.............. if you are proud of who you are and know that by any means, your mother never had any sympathy for you, then you may want to let go.Is it best just to let go of a parent that just absolutely does not care about you?
I wish I could help you, but thats a decision you have to make on your own, especially after you have done everything you can to make things work. And if your under 18, you have time to think about it. If you're an adult, do what makes you happy. I mean, what are you supposed to do? Just be unhappy all the time because of her?? Unfortunately you can't choose your relatives, but you can choose how much you see them. I hope things get better for you dude.
Hello,


So what kind of relationship does she want ?


Have you asked her what she thinks your relationship should be like?


You may just want different things. Maybe with an open/calm conversation you can come to a compromise.


Or if she truly isn't interested in any kind of relationship then move on.


You can't force anyone to have a relationship with you and it's not worth you upsetting yourself over.


Take care %26amp; good luck
How old are you?


Any siblings? (their ages? and how do they interact with mom?)


Any drug use? (either you, mom, or other family members)


Is there tremendous stress in the house-hold? (job loss, home foreclosed, etc.)





You are NOT WEAK for wanting to be closer to your mother.


Many people find that charming, and LOVING.


If you mother doesn't acknowledge your loving gestures, is mean/rude to you, and doesn't reciprocate your love (depending on your age) I would say (as your title says) to 'just let go'.





It's been proven that a mothers love can make or break a persons life.
first, i'm really sorry. u deserve more as a child, or once a child.





i'm nlot licensed but u should talk thru this bc it is obviously bothering u





u r clearly not the one at fault





accept my aplogizes from all women out there, just bc we gift birth doesn't mean we are a 'mom'





pls do not let this woman control how u feel about u





u are her child, it is her role to be the adult and she is not doing so, she is in the wrong and i'm sorry





pls find proffessional help to deal with the hurt bc i'm sure its major %26amp; again, this is not your fault AT ALL
i completely understand how you feel, because my mother is pretty much the same way. We have had so many battles, and no matter what we do we just can't seem to solve our differences. I'm civil to her when I have to be, because she is my mom, but other than that, I don't really have anything to do with her. As much as it sucks, it was definitely the right thing to do for me. Hopefully this helps!
I like the second answer.


Sometimes we do have to let go in our hearts when we are not getting the normal attention we deserve.


Things may change for the better later in life. Kids go thur stages and so do parents. She may be high strung or very stressed.
you know that you cannot force her to do anything...if you were my son i'd be very proud of your attempts, you sound more mature and level-headed than your mom...Good luck, i wish the best for you!
