For me it was easy because emotionally I became cut off from them at a very early age, everything starting at 13. I simply came to the realization that they are too selfish and self-absorbed to care. Once I understood that, it was easy for me to emotionally distance myself. I stopped caring about THEM, never really missed them to begin with. Sooner than later they became strangers in my mind's eye.

My dad died in October and I felt nothing. Until last month, I hadn't seen or spoken to my mother in almost 2 years. Last month was an accident, she happened to be in the same food court that me and my partner were having lunch in, she saw us and we saw her. It happens. I briefly introduced my boyfriend (and came out to her in the process) and we were on our way. Whole thing lasted a minute.

I have a Virgo moon which helps with all that, and some have considered me heartless for not wanting my family in my life. But I just did what was best for me. I could either carry the bitterness inside me for the rest of my life, feeling like I wasn't worth loving even by my own family, or I could simply accept the fact they didn't deserve to have a son/brother like me and focus my energies on someone far more important than all of them.
Has your mother tried to contact you since that brief meeting and if she did, and apologised for what she did to you, would you consider trying to build a rship with her ?
1) Nope. She probably expects me to reach out first. But we share the same moon, she should know better.

Her, apologize and admit she did wrong? Yeah sure, when pigs fly. And no. I don't make the same mistake twice. Same reason why I never rekindle a failed relationship. I don't want or need her in my life. When I did need her, she wasn't there. My 33rd birthday is only 4 weeks away. What on earth would I need her for now? She is nothing to me.
As a mother myself, that is very sad to read, but as long as you feel peaceful about it and don't let it make you bitter, then fair enough. I am sorry she wasn't there for you, I would rather die than not be there for our lad 😥
Maybe there's a hint of bitterness because on some level I miss who she never was, but I don't miss "her". Sarah was more of a mother to me than she was, even she only knew me for a few years.

It's like I told her a few years back during one of the last times I spoke to her: if she died right there and then in front of me, I wouldn't bat an eyelid. And I wasn't being mean and petty, I was simply being honest with her. My heart forgot who she is a very long time ago, there's no turning back the clock. I reserve my heart space for those who deserve it. Otherwise it's wasted.

Sarah was your sister ?

It's okay you don't have to use gifs to answer ... your written word is plenty enough 👍

Sarah was the mother of an old friend of mine, who I had a thing for for like 2 minutes shortly before I met my boy.

And what the fart is wrong with my gifs??? Owwwww have another drink, mammy.
