Is it normal for mom to not care if i cry?

Sometimes I’ll get very frustrated or upset or lonely or scared, and I’ll curl up in a ball on my bed and cry and scream into my pillows until I’m hyperventilating and coughing, and mom just ignores me or shouts that I’m being manipulating. Even if I’m trying to be quiet, if she hears me she gets mad for me crying.
I’m scared she doesn’t love me anymore. I wish she would just cuddle me. She spends most of her time working on construction projects around the house and gets mad when I come outside to get a hug. Maybe I’m just too clingy.

    i have repressed memories i think , i was three on a ladder looking out the window and i now think i remember my mother saying get off that ladder you little bastard and she grabbed me buy the feet and i was holding on with my hands for dear life and then i remember getting my chin stitched up. if its true i blanked it out for 58 years. i was never close to her ever most kids like their mother but i never liked mine.

    Have you ever behaved this way to get what you want?

    Maybe she just doesn't know how to react to her kid crying and freaking out. My mum never spoke a word about mental health (even after months in a hospital) but I think that helped me crawl out of my pit of despair and not focus on it 24/7.
