life help: My mother is demented. - Help.com

She wonders why she got jack **** for mothers day…

okay, I have to admit this was a little funny to me and made me chuckle. You expressed it so well I could actually visualize it…

Not that I approve any of her words or hitting….but us moms can go haywire once in a while… it probably wasn’t you hun, she was probably mad at someone or something else and you were in her line of fire. Just ignore her and leave it alone.

For godsakes leave the stereo alone for now until she becomes level headed again.

If she acts this way alot though you should really consider talking to a school counselor.

It was way worse when I was a kid. She can turn into this vicious beast sometimes.

Does she have a loving side? Ever sorry?either way she needs counceling and maybe more.You are a victim of abuse so something needs to change.Report her anonamously.If this is not a option or too hard for you to do,let us know here and we will come up with options

Ps: my mother was the same,except for only one bad beating.You don’t deserve this

I don’t want to leave her. I’m comfortable with my life and despite this total ******** I love her dearly.

I have an option for a better life. But I don’t want a white picket fence life.

Tell you one thing though. If this woman hits me one more time I’m going off.

Now everything is fine apparently. Can you say bi polar?

I’m not sure what you mean’Can you say bi-polar’? You sound very sarcastic and I’m trying to help you And now your reply about ‘Going Off’? thats exactly why something needs to be done ASAP.It sounds like your already falling into the pattern..Whats going on is affecting you and your children if you have any,it will effect every relationship from here on in.But since you will not leave, try ‘Killing her with kindness’,I know it’s harder with someone like this,and it may seem like its not helping,but it does help.Sometimes a child has to be the ‘Role mOdel

I’m absolutely fine. This is everyday life for me, I’ve learned to cope. Yeah I’m a little sarcastic, nothing to do with you. I try to kill her with kindness I’m coping.

When I have kids things will be way different. Sounds cliche. But my mind’s set.

People have it worse. It’s life.

good, glad to hear it.Really. But I just hope you will get help,even if it’s just self-help if you see or hear yourself starting to repeat her mistakes.So I take it she’s bi-polar? I’m not an expert on illnesses,but I consider myself a expert on this case since I’ve lived what you have,for the most part and I’m bi-polar, so I don’t know if its the bi-polar or just a matter of suppressing feelings,then blowing ‘her top’ behavior.But there is hope for change.I wrote a post on the ‘feelings’ if your interested.Maybe you could get her to read it.Just a thought.http://help.com/post/127790-everyone
