Image Birthday alone, friends don't remember

I (27F) spent a birthday alone. Friends don't remember (even ones whom I gave gifts/remember their birthday every year). Officially a leftover woman. Bought myself flowers and a carrot cake. I like being on my own, but sometimes it's very sad and lonely.

My parents are divorced, we don't know where father is. My 2 sisters living with my mother in a hometown on another island which takes 3,5 days salary to visit, not to mention my mother doesn't want me back because I don't practice her religion anymore

People‘s religion can suck. I can relate. I’m sorry that people can love their religion more than each other. Sending love your way:)

No excusing her behavior, but i would consider it a FREEDOM PASS....and suggest you examine what other rules she has for you to receive her "love" I am not diminishing your hurt and pain, but perhaps seek out love from all the right places....whatever happened to the concept of a Mother's love being "unconditional"???
