My mother is weird
The story
My mother has many friends. She has many activities. But she never seems to care about her children. I live 30 minutes away but she never comes to my house. I always go to her. She always has people around. But I never see her do anything for her children. It is very weird. We have always helped her. If one of her children is sick she does not care. My brother had a heart attack. My mother sends a message. But that is all. She can do anything, she has no handicap. If you come to her house she never ask if you want coffee or water. She just keeps on gardening or playing games. She makes her own lunch. Often I buy and prepare food for her. With other people she is very sociaal and gives food. A cold woman.

Points of view
I get where you're coming from; it's tough when a parent seems distant. Like, my dad used to be super busy with his friends and hobbies too. We'd have family gatherings, and he'd sometimes forget I was even there. Funny thing is, now that I've got my own life happening, I kind of see why he needed his space back then. It still stings a bit but realizing it made me focus more on the moments we do connect instead of what's missing all the time.
