Hugs!

That is super shitty of her This is YOUR medical issue, and you can tell whoever the fuck you want. She should be supporting you now, and I am so sorry that she isn't.

[cbwm1]

Oh dovey, I'm so sorry.

Is she always weird about stuff like this? Or is this new?

[lilac05]

I'm so sorry. A mom's support just means so much. I hope sometime soon, she will see that you have told others so you can receive support from many people, not just your immediate family.

[EmilieMadison]

I'm so sorry. I dont know your dynamic with her or how she'd react, but my suggestion would be to send her a text saying "Mom, I am hurt that you have not reached out to me. I'm scared and I want to talk to you. Not having you support me during this time is infinitely more hurtful than people talking about the fact that I have a medical condition. Can I call you?"

[revolution]

that is uncalled for. If this is out if the ordinary for her, perhaps she is having a hard time with it? Obviously that doesn't make her shitty behavior excused or your issue.

I hope she calls you soon.

[Deleted]

Ugh. I'm sorry she isn't being more supportive. I'll give you mom hugs and hair pats.

[jaycee]

WHAT? That is absolutely crazy.

I can not imagine not losing my shit if my son said he had a brain tumor. I'd be on the floor.

I'm so so so sorry you're dealing with this.

[alzi]

Ugh how shitty! I'm sorry:(

Her not communicating is definitely out of the norm. We usually chat every day or every other day. I'm just not sure why she upset. Last I recall its ME with the tumor, not her

Maybe she is scared and doesn't know how to cope?

[vicky]

((Dovey)) I'm sorry, love. You have all our love. I know it's not the same, but we are here for you.

[karmasabiotch]

I'm so sorry. I know we can't take the place of your mother but please know that you have hundreds of people that care deeply about you here and hopefully we can do even the smallest of things to help fill that void that your Mom created. We are here for you. Depend on us and lean on us. Let us be your support system.

[katie4253]

Wow, that is just terrible. I'm sorry. If it was me, I would want people to know. I wouldn't want to deal with something so big on my own. I'm really sorry that your mom isn't supporting you. I can only hope she is just really scared and not handling this well. I hope she comes around.

[Dezi]

I'm so sorry that you're being treated this way by your own mother. My initial thought is that she's scared and is coping/dealing with the news very well.

[Deleted]

It's shitty that she is worrying about what other people may or may not say. I am sorry.

[txgrandma]

That is just wrong. No excuse for her behavior.

[murdock]

I'm sorry. I'd be very upset. You need to be taking care of you, not her.

[litebright]

I'm so sorry, that sucks. I hope she gets her head on straight soon.

[aussiecrush]

This is my Dad. It makes things twice as hard because not only is she not supporting you, she's adding to your stress. I'm so sorry.

[allaboutme]

I'm sorry...

[poorpoodle]

I'm sorry. Want me to bite her? Poop in her shoes? chew up all her underwear?

[Champagne Supernova]

I'm sorry, Dovey. I don't get why she thinks you need to keep it a secret. WTF?

[Deleted]

I'm so sorry. You didn't need this added stress. Not all mothers can be warm and understanding. You have tons of support here, Dovey, and although it isn't a substitute for a mom's hug, I hope you feel the support here.

[polka]

I'm sorry, dovey. Maybe she is scared too, but that doesn't change the fact that it hurts you. Hopefully she will be more supportive soon.

Hugs.

[ErinExpat]

I'm sorry. It sounds like she is in shock and isn't processing it well, so she's fixating on an external issue.

If you do reach out to her, specify that going forward, you'd love her to be a part of your support system. Perhaps in her case, having too many details is adding to the stress of the situation.

[onomatopoeia]

I'm sorry, that sucks. Do you think she's upset because you didn't tell her in person? Not that it excuses her behavior, but I know own my mom would absolutely focus on this. She's kind of self-centered, even with other people's issues. I hope she comes around and gives you the support you need.

[shell24]

Even if she's scared, it's still hurtful.  I'm so sorry.  I hope she comes around soon.

And why does she think people would "gossip" about you?  Maybe talk about it, sure, but that's not automatically gossiping.  It is a somewhat strange reaction.  

[eb777888]

 I'm sorry. I wish you had all of the support you need right now.
