hey,

i am sorry to hear that but what you can do is try to talk to your closet sibling. and maybe he or she can go talk to your mother. Or just try not to let her effect you. Cause if you give her a mean response she will know that it bothers you, and she will keep doing that.

This is sad for you.

I suggest you write your mum a long letter, make it nonconfrontational.

Explain in clear non agrressive way how hurt and sad you feel, give examples of things she has done that hurt you.

Explain how much you love her and how you would dearly like to be close with her.

Sometimes seeing things in writing hit people harder, she will have time to digest the info. without being able to answer back.

I hope then she will take on board your feelings.

If not, maybe there is another adult ? aunty? teacher? that you are close to that you can confide in, you need to be nutured.

Remember you are not unloveable, for some reason your mum is having difficulty relating to you, try to hear what she has to say to and see if togehther you can meet jhalf way.
