Can you tell me what it's like to feel a mother's love?

My mother abandoned me as a child so I have no idea how it feels to have a mother.

Nat~ I looked her up when I was 16 because I knew she was young when she left me with grandma. I met her and she said "I didn't love you then why would I love you now"? Had my heart ripped out but at least I tried.

Debby R~ my dad remarried when I was 16. I loved my stepmom dearly and she treated me no different than her own kids but I often wondered what it would be like to have a mother/daughter day.
Guess that's why I have sons because god knew I'd treat her extra special.

My mother emotionally abandoned me most of my life, which is probably why I love her so much now... you always want what you can't have, right? Sometimes it feels one-sided, what we share, but it's like having a friend who never judges you, that you respect and adore entirely. You couldn't imagine life without them. For others, it's a different feeling. Just by me calling her a "friend" indicates our dysfunctional relationship. I understand what she's been through though and why it's hard for her to take on that motherhood role. That's spiraling into a different topic though. Really, you've probably had a mother figure and just don't realize it. Kids naturally do that I guess, according to my psychology teacher. Whether it be a teacher, a friend's mom, a neighbor, etc..

Have you ever tried reconnecting to her? They say women who get older regret decisions like that, leaving their kids behind and everything. They start to get lonely.

Edit: Oh my god that's terrible... i'm so sorry.

That is a terrible feeling to never feel a mother's love. My mom has passed, but she did many things for me. She taught me many things as well. She was always there for me no matter what. My dad died when I was young so she was like my mom an dad put together. It is hard to put into words all she did. Many things I didn't really realize until long after she was gone.

I am so sorry for your heartbreak. I think you may have experienced a mother's love in your stepmom, without realizing it.
