My Mom

Post Reply New Topic

This will be a bit long, but I really want help.

I don't feel like my mom loves me any more. I know that she does, or at least thinks that she does, but I don't feel it. Every time I make any kind of mistake, she gets mad and corrects me. Every time I make a tiny mistake, she sarcastically explains it to me like she would to a 5-year-old. When I cry, she gets mad at me and sends me to my room. When I express any opinion that contradicts hers, she corrects me--her word is law. Sometimes, when I haven't even done anything, she gives me these disgusted looks, as if I were some kind of bug, a pest. Sometimes she yells at me just because she feels like it. When I ask her why she's mad at me, she gives me an answer that isn't an answer, like "Because I am!" or "Because you're acting dumb!". She has no respect for my opinion, and doesn't even consult me when making decisions that affect me in major ways. She knows I have Asperger's but has no more sympathy for me because of it. I've researched emotional abuse, and she fits the bill in just about every way.

What do I do? Is she emotionally abusing me? What do I do?

And I'm SO sorry for bringing this up to you guys, but thanks in advance for your time and advice.

you might have to lecture her or talk to your dad about it if you have a good relationship with him.

Just an update: I was feeling bad when I posted this. She's not as bad as as I made her sound. She acts this way when she's mad or aggravated and it really gets under my skin, but I don't think it's emotional abuse.

Sorry. I'll try not to post here when I'm mad again.
