Hi Dear Mumma Bear @Owlunar 

Sounds like everything is going in the right direction for you. Even things with your daughter, will wonders never cease?

I went to a mental health group yesterday and unfortunately feelings about my Mother bubbled up. I have been in tears both yesterday and today. My Mother hasn’t been in contact with me for at least 16 years and it was her that rejected me. My Aunt several years ago said it was because I was too hard. I feel hurt! So today I thought it might help to write her a letter. I tried looking for her address through the electoral roll but she is in another state so that didn’t work. Then I asked my sister for an address or phone number but she says she doesn’t have those either and that she is also not in contact. My sister says that my Mother just doesn’t care to be a Mother. Where does that leave me and my feelings? It’s just not fair. She messed up my life then bowed out and there’s no way to fix anything. It hurts so darn much. Also you should know that my Mother was mentally abusive to me growing up. I am probably better off without her but I still want her because she is my only Mother. I am so confused!
