Is there really a one side love of a Mother?

I've been crying the whole afternoon. I was happy yesterday because I was able to be part of the festival here. But today is I'm so sad. I don't know why I need to feel an outcast in my own Family. Like, what did I do wrong? I'm trying to be a good daughter and I didn't do anything wrong. And it makes me feel I am not part of this Family because every time I will do my part as the eldest daughter, but Mother is not favor of me. And every time we are fighting, she will always tell me that I should leave the house because this is not mine. Like where am I going? For 14 years I was not here because she gave me away. I was trying to live my life the way I wanted, I even go to places with someone I love before to make a life. As much as I don't like being here but I don't have a choice. I've got no place to stay. If only I have much money, I will leave here. I know my Mother doesn't like me. And I know she hates me. She only loves her sons and not her only daughter. She even said I am a daughter of an evil. I know my time is few, all I want before I leave this place is for my Mother to accept me as part of her. But I think, she will never change her mind.

Your life is just like mine Bhem. I know how this feels..You have a friend in me..My story is a very long one. My Mother also favors others not me. Just want you to know I understand this.

@JustBhem I am sorry Bhem. You are not alone in this..It is a painful wound from the Mother to you. I feel this too in my life, even after all these years..it is still the same, they do not change. But may I say, you are stronger than you know Bhem. You are good and Mother is wrong to treat you this way.

Thanks, Tiara. Now I know I am not alone. Ever since I never felt my Mother's care and genuine love. She can only notice me if I have money.

For the moment I do not see a way out for you.A mother treating a daughter like that is really sad.Also,you do have some health issues to be taken care of.

@JustBhem That is really tough.Try to hold on for some more time. Stay with your mother whatever she says for some more time.Do not answer her abuses.

Yes, that is why it's difficult for me to leave the place. The boyfriend is working 24 hours a day and no one will be there if in case something will happen to me alone.

I'm so sorry. But it's rare for a mother not to love their children no matter how bad they are in front of their eyes. She must have her own reasons or you might not just be seeing eye to eye. Have you tried talking to your mother like an adult should, openly without any judgement?

@JustBhem I wish you could talk to someone who has a close relationship with your mom. I just know somehow she has her own reason. No mother can hate her own child without a particular reason. Perhaps you have an aunt your mother talks to about you, or maybe she has a friend.

Every time I open up to her she always doesn't listen. And that's one I hated for her. She doesn't listen to you at all. She always makes excuses.

@toniganzon I don't think so. Nobody wants to befriend with her because of her attitude. She always snob everyone here in our neighborhood. She has sisters but they are not close.

You know i don't to add more negativity here, almost got me to swear a lot. I guess I'm lucky to have a mother who loves me no matter what. Well, you gotta work and save money if you want to get out of there. I think she will miss you when your gone or something. I don't know the origin of her hate towards you, I mean what makes you different from your siblings you are all of her children. Not to mention you have a very troubling health issue which supposed only old people should have...I understand now probably why you want to go abroad.Remember what you still have and what remains to be good, don't let this thing turn you down.

@JustBhem Why the hell he would go to prison? What makes her so jealous of you in the first place why can't she just tell the truth.. One day, she will regret her actions against you. There must be a huge reason why. Her hate has just gone beyond, unless you didn't come from her or something..

I really don't know why she hates me. Maybe because I have what she doesn't have during her younger years. I remember when I was young, there is no time she is not angry with me. Especially when Father buys me anything I want and brings me wherever he is. And sometimes I have bruises because she always beat me and pinched me whenever there are things she doesn't like me doing. And because of me, Father and Mother will fight about me getting a lot of bruises. And her anger goes with me whenever Father is not around. That is why, if there is issue in the school I don't go for her instead I go for Father because every time I tried to attempt talking to her, she doesn't listen to me and ignore me. Until she gave me away to my Father's aunt because she can't bear looking at me. That is when Father got to prison.

@Letranknight2015 My Father was a Policeman, and someone framed him. I don't know, maybe because she thinks Father loves me so much and less for her. I can see her jealousy before when Father buy things I like. Sometimes I think I'm not coming from her. One time I asked her that and I was crying because she's so mean to me.

I am very very sorry, you are not alone, my Mom does not hate me, but she surely loves my brother ten times more than she loves me. Many times I do not feel part of the family.

@LadyDuck I used to love her, I always send her flowers and cards on her Birthday and Valentines Day. That is when I was still healthy and living with my boyfriend. When I got sick, I went home because the boyfriend worked 24 hours and nobody can look for me. When I was living here during those moments that I'm sick, I saw the cards in their room, folded and looks like trash. I told her these cards means a lot to me. But she just ignored me.

hija, if you are capable of leaving your family behind and start your own family with your boyfriend, i would advise you to. it is s hard to be in a home that excludes you, and i believe that is not a home, but the physical structure of a house only.

How I wish that would be easy. But I and the boyfriend is not ready yet because we still have debts to pay. If only I still have work and save, I would gladly leave this house. I know they will be happy if I'm gone. How about Basty? Who will gonna to take care of him?

@JustBhem No, I think you need to be on your own now, maybe if you were still healthy you could give time for them. But it's not the same anymore..she's consumed with greed and hate, so it's better to focus yourself in moving on an find your own happiness.

When I was 16 years old, my Father got to prison because he was a Policeman that time and someone framed him. We are 6 in the Family, our youngest was 2 years old. When Father was in prison, Mother started going out in the night with my cousins. And she left us with a nanny. One time, our youngest was so sick and he was crying a lot and asking for Mother. The mother that time was nowhere to be found. No cell phone yet to contact her. She arrived home at 3 am in the morning. I asked her she's been and she smells liquor. I shouted at her and asked what kind of woman she is. She slapped me and beat me with a whetstone and that left with a scar on my face. The next morning, she gave me away to my Father's aunt who is a well off together with my 3-year-old 5th Brother. I don't like the idea because since Father is not around and sentenced to 6 to 12 years in prison. I was thinking it is time to do my part as the eldest. But Mother is not listening to me. I promised myself that I will do anything to make my Family better. I studied to become a Police woman, even then I heard a lot of stories about my Mother having an affair with a jeepney driver. But I didn't believe it because I know Mother would not do that. One time I visited my Brothers in our house. The house was empty, some of the appliances were gone. Our youngest is in my cousin's house. My 2nd Brother was working in the market as a laborer. I asked them where is the money I send them? They told me Mother had it. I was crying that time because my Brothers are working to get food on the table. While I am in my Father's aunt living a luxurious life, eating good food, with a huge house and Brother are living like they don't have parents. I don't have work because I'm still studying in college but I save my baon and send it my Brothers. Sorry for the long explanation.

@Letranknight2015 That is why I don't give money to her because she also did that before. When I was in the Hospital and sick, she didn't support me with any money. That time she had a meat business in the market. Only the boyfriend's parents were the one who pays my bills in the Hospital.

You maybe think I am lucky Sol. But I am not. Maybe I am at some point because I lived with my Father's aunt when I was in college. The ex-knows about that. He was the one who thought me to be tough. Behind the happy-go-lucky face, I had is a sad girl inside.

Normally mothers are close to their daughters. If you cannot reconcile you should plan to move out as soon as possible - siva

Based on my opinion, some may not be suitable to do parents. Truly. But it is also impossile for us to stop those who unsuitable to be parents. We have no rights. Try to get out of this predicament and enjoy your bright life. You will be loved.
