This is the second year that I have not received a card from my son. I am very hurt by this. He and his family are in Disneyworld right now. I didn’t receive a phone call until 9 pm. By that time my hurt had turned into anger, (as it frequently does). He apologized and could tell in my voice how pissed I was and opted to end the call, which I appreciated. I understand he is on vacation, but seriously, he couldn’t take less than a minute to text me a happy mother’s day and say he’ll call later? He couldn’t have remembered to mail a card in all his trips to the grocery store, Walmart, etc?
My list of hurts are adding up. We’re heading up there next week for my granddaughters 2nd birthday. His father will be there again and that pisses me off because while he’s there, I’m an afterthought. I’m a little sick of it. Who did everything for him growing up, (yes I am pettily remembering all I’ve done) which is a lot. His father did absolutely nothing! Whatever, is that passive/aggressive enough for you? I’m hoping our trip up to NY is calm. I know it is in my hands. No guarantees here,
On the other hand my daughter called and sent a card, she always does. She also checked in on me every day that P was away, which I thought was very nice and very much appreciated. No call from my grandson. I realize I need a life and not to depend on my kids for happiness. I’ll work on that.
