[quote=Anonymous]OP it's ok, and understandable to feel hurt. Then you need to get over it, accept your mother for who she is, and figure out how to run your life without depending on her. Being your mother doesn't mean you don't have to "man up" and handle the realities of caring for the three children you've chosen to have with someone who is on active duty. I'm not trying to be unkind - just pragmatic. You have to grow up and stop relying on your mother or hoping she will be there for you in a way she is either unable or unwilling to be. I get that you're hurt. Fine. Deal with that, and separately deal with the realities of figuring out how to get the help you need. FWIW, it is often INFINITELY easier to manage childcare help that you hire, than to handle family dynamics involved in all that. Good luck.[/quote]
