Am I terrible for considering this?
My mother and I have never been close.... she always was selfish and whilst not abused I was definitely neglected as a child. As an adult I have always made excuses for her and have always treated her well, phoned / visited regularly/ provided her with holidays every year ( even when i was a student) but have to confess it has always been through sense of duty rather than affection. It has never been a 2 way street, no phone calls to me , no birthday /christmas gifts just 20 pounds in a card. ( money not important, thought would be nice)
Never argued with her, always made excuses but now I have had enough. had a minor argument wiht her for first time ever and said I might not visit this summer. then of course felt really guilty and was going to apologise and go visit as she is 80 but then heard she has told the family she isn't bothered if I am not part of her life. I know if I visit she will only care if I have brought her cigarettes or not. She has phoned me once in 20 years and that was not to ask how I was or my family but to ask me to post her cheap cigarettes. this is what caused recent argument. I am tempted to wash my hands of her and have nothing more to do with her. I feel a terrible person for considering it.
