I hope you have an opportunity soon to get yourself some gosh darn cake!! (or your sweet treat equivalent) - you deserve to be able to celebrate!
Sitting with you @BlueBay 
I know you will get through, and that you'll reach out if you need to. No one should have to 'be strong' on their birthday, but your forums family are right here with you.
Hi @BlueBay
I hope you are feeling a bit better tonight - you had a sucky birthday this year and so did I -
But I plan to make up for it next year
You will have these miserable times when you give other people the power - like your mother - I took my power away from my mother - and that is hard to do but the alternative would have been feeling miserable all the time - as I said - their castle - their game - their rules - so let your mother have her game and send her a card - change the rules to suit yourself
You got flowers and a present from your first son and your husband - so that's a plus - I would love it to get flowers - I really love them and send them at special times. But you had an argument or Huffnpuff cracked the shits - and this was not kind of him so that's rough too
I don't know what that was about - but the only thing you can do is to rely on yourself and not expect other people to remember - let them know that you would like whatever you would like
It's really sad that you continue in this pattern of being angry and unhappy because other people don't live up to your expectations - I wish it was easier for you but the only way you can get there is to take control of your own life - and yes - I know that's hard but believe me - the outcome makes it worthwhile and I really hope you can do this for yourself
