You remind me so much of me at your age, which is why I find it hard to comment on your journal. Actually, you're much cooler than I was. But some of the things you write about take me right back in time... You don't have to hate her. But you don't have to keep investing yourself in a relationship where you're not going to get any affection. Be polite, and respectful (meaning you don't have to respect her actions, but you also don't have to play her games). Be kind. But realize that you don't deserve to be treated this way and you are worthy of love. Finish growing up. Become the person you want to be. Leave the door open for your mum, but don't try to drag her through kicking and screaming. I'm going to be 28 in a few weeks and I'm only just starting to have an actual relationship with my mum based on mutual respect.
