This is more of a rant to write my feelings down. But if anyone has any help suggestions I'd love to hear it, because I really dont think I'm in the wrong but I dont know. thank you to anyone who reads and replies. a few months ago my mom and I got into an argument because I felt extremely uncomfortable with her bringing a guy she just met into our tiny apartment without telling me. not only did the sudden person in my space stress me out, but the last time she brought a man in the house he was a psychopath that tortured me everyday. she thinks I'm selfish and I wish her nothing but pain and misery for the rest of her life, and I just "dont want [her] to be happy". a month later they broke up which was apparently my fault and my mom started yelling at me while she drove me to school. I started having a panic attack because I was a foot away from someone yelling insults at me and making me feel guilty for existing. when I starting crying she grabbed my wrist and wouldn't let go no matter how much I screamed, cried, pushed her away and begged for her to let go. I stopped talking to my mom except for necessities like food or meds. but she continues to make me feel guilty for needing food and meds and calls me manipulative becuase I dont let her talk to me like trash. now I flinch anytime anyone touchs me and being in a room with people makes me really nervous especially my mom. how am I supposed to have relationships if I dont let people touch me or get within a 3 feet radius. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

      @Sunflower.System I'm 18 and I'll be out of the house in early August for college. But I never learned how to drive so I cant really go anywhere. I'm in counseling but I'd have to stop in august and I'm really worried I won't be better by then. I'm so stressed and overwhelmed constantly that I've become numb to everything

      You're definitely not in the wrong. My mother was never physically made me uncomfortable or distressed, but her yelling and guilt tripping affected my mental health poorly. What I did was moved out at 18 and cut all contact for over a month, until my resentment faded and she was sorry. She and I have a pretty good relationship now that we have space apart. The best thing you can do it try to hold out the best you can and getting out as soon as you're old enough to. As far as the fear of people, I've been there. I didn't have therapy as I kid so I gave myself exposure therapy. I'd push myself to walk past people that gave me anxiety, until I was eventually able to walk through a crowded lunch room

      For a long time I wouldn’t let anyone touch me. Being abused in so many different ways in my life made me feel powerless. Then one day a particular friend came into my life and stayed no matter how badly I’d tried to push them away they stayed. So then I started trusting people again. However, if there is a crowd of people I duck out and try to find a safe spot to go. I’m so sorry she did this to you, I’m sorry she doesn’t understand anything beyond what she thinks. I know that one day you’ll start to trust people again, and if not I’m always here to talk to. Parents should never be like that at all. I hope that in the future she finally realizes what’s going on and becomes better. Have you told her about the other guy? Maybe talking to her about it would make her realize you are uncomfortable having guys around. I just hope for the uttermost best for you in years to come. I believe in you, you’re going to do great things.

        @Wolfy96 thanks it means alot. About the other guy, he was with us for 4 years. Even though she watched it happen she didnt care to do anything. That's the main reason I have PTSD. She has a PFA against him now but I dont think she really cares about me. If so she has a weird way of showing it. She always has some excuse
