My feelings towards my mother as an adult are very confusing. I appreciate the things SHE wanted to help me with. She helped me get through school, she’s bought things for me that I needed… I’m not complaining … but I feel like I struggled emotionally … even as a kid I never felt like she liked me and that really hurt me bc I adored her and wanted to be her.
my mother is very attractive and I don’t have a lot of her features. I always felt like that was one reason why. I felt like she treated me like shit… she never really spent time with me yada yada… I’m over that.
She’s given all my pets away even after having them for 3+ years… I fought hard to this day to get my dog back from my cousin who can’t afford her. My dog means the absolute world to me and I’ve had her since I was 17. There were multiple opportunities for me to try and get her back. I’ve begged and pleaded with my mother to help me. She’s getting a new dog and she loves to rub it in my face.

It sounds like you have complex feelings towards your mother, and it's completely normal to have mixed emotions about a parent. It's important to remember that financial support doesn't always equate to emotional support or a nurturing relationship. It can be challenging when you feel a lack of emotional connection or understanding from a parent.
It's clear that the loss of your pets, especially your dog, has been particularly painful for you. It might be helpful to have an open and honest conversation with your mother about your feelings and concerns regarding your relationship and the pets. Communication can be a first step toward understanding each other better, even if it doesn't resolve everything.
Remember, your feelings are valid, and it's okay to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist to help you navigate these emotions and find a way to improve your relationship with your mother or find closure.
