Lonely Days

NovaCat227 May 22nd, 2023

I've been feeling very alone and forgotten lately. It started on my birthday last month in April. My mother had forgotten my birthday once again. What's worse was this time she had mistaken my own birthday for my son's birthday which at the time wasn't until may. So it sucked hearing hearing that she thought it was his. And not mine. Along with that my 4 other siblings also forgot as well. But I got over that pretty quickly. Now lately it seems like nobody wants to talk to me. I usually message some friends and family here and there throughout the day but nobody has gotten back to me in days. I thought to myself okay I'll back off I'm sure everyone is just busy. But it's been almost two weeks without talking to any of my friends or family that I usually chat with and it feels really lonely. I'm not sure if I did something wrong recently or maybe I just got too annoying. I'm unsure. I tell myself well at least I have my fiance and son by my side. But still feels awful not having my usual support system that gets me through each day of being a first time mom.

It is completely valid to be uspet that your mother forgot your birthday. That sounds painful, and hard to accept.

You sound like you are feeling confused about how the people around you are acting. I'm sorry to hear that you feel so lonely, and your normal support system isn't there.

I hope that they get back to you soon 🌻
