Can someone translate this postcard?

For some reason, the image won't show when I click preview, but the link takes you straight to the image.

Basically:

"My mother has never once looked at me. No one knows but actually, it hurts so bad I could die."

What TLS said... it's the last line that gets me. So sad.

"Daremo shirai kedo..." (no one knows but...)

"Honto wa shinu hodo itai.." (really, it hurts so much I could die...)

It never ceases to amaze me how many people understand Japanese in the 44s....

That IS a really depressing postcard. I think the "watashi no koto wo mite kureta koto ga nai" means "My mother has never once seen me for who I am", but I could be wrong. I'll ask my wife when she comes home...
