life help: I hate my mom because she’s jealous that I’m Daddy’s girl. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I hate my mom because she’s jealous that I’m Daddy’s girl.

She and my brother gang up on me by contradicting my every word, spreading negative image on me etc. Mom starts it all the time. I just keep my mouth shut and try to brush it aside most of the time. I hate my brother sometimes but I hate my mother even more, almost everyday. I’m asking why God is punishing me by giving me a mother like her…She’s everything a mother shouldn’t be. Hasn’t God punished me enough already? I’m already 21 and she has been a pain for me since my world began. What did I do to make me deserving of this life-draining punishment?

First off, kudos for taking the higher road and turning the other cheek. As far as God “punishing you”, I believe that He wouldn’t give you a mother like that unless you couldn’t handle it. The situation makes you stronger as a person. That being said, confront her! You can stand up for yourself without being disrespectful, you’re an adult and so is she, it’s time she treated you as equal.

Well, don’t confront her when you are angry. I am much older than you, and I learned my lesson about that. But maybe, write her a letter telling her how you feel. You are her daughter, and MAYBE something will get through to her.

Are your parents together or are they divorced?

You’re 21, just forgive and forget…my mom is difficult too and I just try to block stufff out…It’s good you don’t react to her though…I wish I could do that. Just remember, that a lot of people have it a lot worse than you do. And atleast you have a mom. (I know you’re probably like you “I wish I didn’t”, but trust me…you’d wonder what you mom was like if you never knew her and you’d probably feel incomplete) Anyway, I thank my mom for making me who I am, and it’s your choice to either look at the glass half empty or half full. Stay strong and get out of there as soon as you can!

Well, I think that you need to just talk to her and maybe to your dad, too, to ask advice. Maybe he needs to spend more special time with her and with your sibling.

I’m going through the same thing, I applaud you for not retaliating. I’ve learned my lesson. My mother is ‘against me’ in the vain that she always thinks the worst of me, never supports me, doesn’t even say a simple hello to me. I know it has to do with many things, but the fact that I am closer to my dad is one of the reasons.

She’s a manipulative witch. God will get her later on in life. Tread with caution, don’t explode on her or lash out on her. God will take care of everything. Trust me, I really do applaud you for your patience. Just know you are not alone in this. MANY of us have difficult, cold mothers. It sucks, but I have faith.
