I love how the closest my mom has come to apologizing for causing my mental disorders is 'I'm sorry my parenting made you the way you are'. gee... thanks mom...

      I kinda know how you feel. I’m an only child. My mom has never given me the respect I deserve ever since the first time I moved away from home. Yeah, I’ve made some mistakes. We all have. She does love me. But I hate her. She puts me down any opportunity she gets. She only treats my dad a little better than she does me. I don’t like visiting her, but her only grandchild shouldn’t be punished in not seeing her because it’s not fault. I try to take the high road and be the better person.

      It’s not a competition but just so you know you’re not alone, everytime I have something medically happen like say PTSD flash backs or severe pain from my femur surgeries my sweet mother says “mind over matter.” As if Im not willing hard enough to get better.

        @Soskae uuugh yeah 🙄🙄🙄. My step dad would say "feelings aren't facts" any time he did something that caused me trauma. I hate adults lol.

          @Lucas.exe "feelings aren't facts" is such a stupid phrase. literally who came up with that LMAO?? no shit they aren't facts. if you're saying that, are you assuming I think that way? maybe because that's how YOU think? If you're getting so offended by me expressing emotion... have you considered that feelings aren't facts? 🤔

      Personally my mom was like that for a long time. She didn't believe in mental health. It took me telling her that, while yes, I know she did the best she could with what she had at the time, it did cause me issues and I really wanted her to research what I had and learn. Once she did, I got the genuine apology I had wanted for years. She acknowledged she did the best she could with what she had, but maybe it was not the right way for me to be raised and she was sorry. It felt so good to get the validation I had been looking for from her. I know not everyone's mom is the same way, but it's a thought on how to maybe start the conversation

        @dream6284 thanks for being so open. Unfortunately, my mom was quick to diagnose me with a disorder that basically said all my negative emotions and reactions were because of that mental disorder and not because she did anything wrong. It took 3 people and 5 years for her to fathom the idea it wasn't the diagnosis she thought it was. Now she blames that diagnosis for every negative reaction I have to something bad she does. Lmao.

        @Morticiasavage to keep it as short as possible, she put me in some very traumatic situations then didnt care how a felt about it, thought I was the problem in the situation, said i should be grateful for it, said if I didn't like it I could leave, etc etc. And it didn't matter if it happened right in front of her, she didnt believe me.

      If your mom is anything like mine then I'm surprised she even admitted it was her parenting that caused it. All I ever got was, "I tried my best!" Like yeah, and I don't think she can really even say she tried so thats also a lie.
