Will we ever have a “relationship” or will it always feel awkward ?

Me and my mother have never been close , I lived with my dad till he died when I was 9, I moved in with my grandparents and lived with them on and off the rest of my childhood going between their house and hers .

I don’t have any good childhood memories with her , most of the childhood memories I do have in general are traumatic ones , (my father being high , my mother constantly leaving me behind not knowing when I was gonna see her again because I was young and didn’t know)

We always clashed , she has literally only hugged me once in my life , she is someone I constantly feared telling anything growing up once I was living with her (teen years )

To this day I still don’t tell her things just random things out of fear of disapproval or anything she will say or her comments she will make .

We have no relationship really at all , we talk but I do not feel anything , like I don’t feel any mother daughter bond , I resent her for a lot of things especially for the relationship she has with my youngest sibling because they have the relationship I wish we had .

I just wanna know

If this is gonna be this way my entire life ? Am I always going to feel this way and what would you do in my situation ?

    Have you ever had any family counselling? Not always the answer, but it could well help you to understand each other better. It's a pity you don't give your sibling's gender or age relative to you. Your mother does seem rather unstable from some of your other questions. Do you have any other relatives you can discuss it with - her parents or siblings? Good Luck!
