help

I am legit just bawling my eyes out and mum's sleeping in the room next to mine but of course she's with her boyfriend so she just doesn't notice at all and i don't know how to stop crying...

i just want a hug and i'm clearly not going to get one because she's too hung up on him and ignoring everything else. like, is it bad that i don't want him here because i just don't think i'm ready to give up her attention and i know that sounds weird but being an only child i've never had to fight with anyone to get mum's attention and now that i have to i don't know how to deal with it.

like i know she's happy and everything with him but i just feel like i'm being shoved aside because right now they're in MY room and i'm stuck in the spare room and i get left behind when they go out and it's just making me feel invisible, like i suddenly don't exist anymore and i hate it.

is this a normal thing or am i just pathetic or way too dependant on her?

 

P.S - I'm basically in the middle of a panic attack right now and the above is a total word vomit.

Its normal dear. Seriously, wanting your mom to love you more is a completely natural reaction for someone who's been getting her undivided attention. And honestly you're her closest next-of-kin out there so she should actually be spending more time with you and giving you the hugs you need instead of being so hung up over her boyfriend (but that's just me). Anyways, I think you should give her some time to get over the love haze and if the situation doesn't become better, or your panic attacks get worse, then you should just talk to her about it in private. I hope you'll be fine /kisskiss/

Woah woah woah your not bein childish! I know how you feel as an only child, being left out hurts so much! Have you tried talking to your mum? Or what about your dad? Can you talk to him? Everyone needs a parent and nobody should be left behind!
If you need me, just message me ok? Xo

No it isn't just you or pathetic. I'm at university and when I come home my mum never has time for me because of her boyfriend, even though I'm only home like 4 weeks a year. I'm here if you need to vent!
