I think that it could be a couple different things.
One is that she hates the father of the child and she is taking it out on the baby.
Another is that she was raised in an abusive family so that is really all she knows.
Another is that she really did not want the baby in the first place but people talked her out of an abortion.
There are really many different reasons a mother could act like that toward her child, no reason makes her actions ok.

No, don't send a bitter letter. Then, you end up becoming like her. Your goal should be to strive to be the exact opposite of her. You've already reached out to her, and there is no need for you to kiss her butt at this point. The dynamics of this relationship are backward, because it sounds like she is not very good at having relationships with those who should be the closest to her, and who should be her biggest priority. She is the parent after all. You tried, and now the ball is in her court. Let her be the one to reach out the next time. And if that doesn't happen, well then, she is the one who is responsible for missing out on a realtionship with her own child. Maybe you two haven't talked about the deep seeded issues that have caused so much pain. But if she is not willing to acknowledge and take responsibility for her part in it, then really, there is nothing to talk about. Best wishes that she realizes this soon, because life is too short to be harboring hate and hurt and guilt and any other types of feelings that cause division.

It could be Post Pardem Depression depending if the child was recently born, if the child is older the mother just might have some kind of mental problems and needs to see a Psyciatrist. I hope this helps.

I do not know. Maybe the way she was treated by her mother?
My mom ran off and left when I was 6 years old and died when I was 16. She had no desire to see me or my younger brother, or to contact us in any form.
I'm glad I learned from it because as a child who suffered this (and also horrible emotional & verbal abuse from my step mom) I know what if felt like and would NEVER do this to my own children.

If the father is paying more attention to the child than to the mother?

could be post abortion syndrome if she had a previous abortion. especially if she is not aware of her condition, the psychological suffering could be more severely put into physical action. check out the elliot institute, they have a lot of information about post abortion syndrome: www.afterabortion.org

Jealousy or resentment? I don't know you didn't really give us enough detail.
