[quote=Anonymous]Radical acceptance and boundaries. That is what you do. You have to accept things as they are no matter how unfair it is. You cannot control your mom or make her show more love. All you can is find the right boundaries so you can have a relationship and not feel pained. You need to spend more time doing things you enjoy and less time falling back into a role you hate. You already tried to work on things many times which is good. She has made it clear she does not care that much.

I have the same situation and I spent so many years being the point person for elderly stuff and feeling like she didn't appreciate any of it and no matter how much I did I would not earn the love i wanted. Finally I stopped my pity party and I backed up. I backed up until I found my comfort zone. I focused on pleasing those who loved me back.

Now I am detached enough and have enough space I see how insane the whole dance was my whole life. She is just a person I hold space for in my heart and try to be in touch with, but I no longer give her any power over me.[/quote]
