life help: My mom is driving me crazy. - Help.com

Time to sever contact. Don’t go back home and limit interaction to only your father/siblings. Mom’s poisonous. You’re skinny as a rail; your mother is taking her own image issues out on you.

You need to get away and not let HER issues poison YOU.

Family councelling is also an option if you think you can get her to go. Otherwise, just get a job and arrange to go elsewhere on your breaks. Family that’s poisonous isnt really family.

Very well put Kero..I was sitting here thinking of what to say and you stole my ideas lol- just kidding ::still thinking::

Best bet- stand up for yourself- just because she is your mother does not mean that she can treat you that way. If you do not want to run- don’t run- who cares what she thinks- this is your life not her life- tell her to take a jog or something- bring up these issues to your mother and if she begins to yell at you about your feelings in the matter- look at her in the eye and tell her that you have had enough- you are technically an adult now and need to find the will to defend your character- even if it is against your mother.

From your description you do sound very thin- do not fall prey to her image of you and what you should look like- you mother needs to be put in her place-although my parents were never like that I will tell then that I am sick of this or that (I am the youngest)- you cannot worry about upsetting her- remember that you are you own person and have every right to do as you please and say what you feel-if she says you need to lose weight- tell her that you are happy with the way you are and that is that-then ask her to look in a mirror-she just sounds very relentless, and to combat that kind of behavior you have to be equally aggressive in your defense, even if that means cutting ties with her, as Kero mentioned

PLEASE start first with talking with your mother before cutting ties with her. Then if that doesn’t work, try getting another family member to help talk to her. But please don’t cut off ties with your mother from the get go. You only have one mother and will never have another. I completely understand your frustrations with her, I can’t imagine what it must be like. She shouldn’t be degrading you in the ways she does but please try and help her too. Apparently she’s dealing with issues as well. Maybe together you can work out your relationship. If all the trying fails, it then will of course be up to you to decide if you have to cut ties with her. But please understand if it does come to that, your relationship with other family members may be at risk as well. Please understand the emotional roller coaster that may put you on as well.

Yeah, my advice was hasty and ill thought out. i’d delete it if i could. Please listen to the other people first.

sounds like mom really cares about u try this sit down with your mom and say can we talk like we are friends at school no sanctions your the same age and u just want to vent about how u see the way ur beeing treated from one friend to another sort of like roll playing she not your mother just a friend see if she can see your point of view then and later set aside time to do these session periodically just to open up some form of communication between the two of u pick out a code for when your going to have these talks like (can we go to the friends zone) let me know if u like this idea

whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I dont know

OW your mom and my mom should have lunch!you know what if you wnat to sit around and eat that is fine. When my mom pulls that one on me i just tell her look at a mirror. My mom also goes off at nothing and i can not talk to her about anything, she is hurtful and rude, and controls the entire family.
