I’m turning 55 today and out of the 5 amazing people that entered this world through my vagina….only my oldest two, sons, have said happy birthday. I am sad. Two are battling, though they would say they are fine, drugs. Haven’t heard from them though I didn’t expect to. But I was hoping to. They are my daughters. It’s different having a daughter as the mom. Don’t get me wrong….my sons are amazing and I feel like I gave the world three strong respectable men. But the ties between a mother and her daughters is undeniably strong. And now suddenly drugs are more important and desired than me. It’s 2 pm my time and still nothing. I don’t mean to whine I am simply so hurt. Thanks for listening.

happy birthday OP! im sorry about your family situation
Happy Birthday! I hope you get to do something you enjoy today!
fuck… birthday’s ain’t supposed to hurt like this. feeling loved should be the highlight of your day but you’re sitting there alone, wondering what you did wrong. i get it. my girl’s off at camp and i’m home with two rambunctious boys, missing her like crazy myself. but we gotta hold on to hope that they’ll come around when things settle down in their lives. until then, we keep the thread between us strong, even if it frays a bit. sending you all my love and hoping your day gets better
Happy birthday, just remember the dead have it easy it’s the living who have to survive.
Stay strong.
Ouch. It’s just… awful. The feeling of being overlooked, especially when it’s meant to be a day of joy. I… um… I can imagine how deeply painful that must be, seeing the connections strained, and feeling that absence. Birthdays, they’re supposed to celebrate the people closest to your heart, but sometimes, life throws a curveball. It’s truly difficult… maybe a friend of mine mentioned feeling similarly last year, and the sheer weight of unexpressed love can just crush you. You deserve so much better than that, and I hope you find some comfort knowing you’re not alone, and that you’re incredibly valued
