Depression Support Group

I had a ruff mom too. Anything I tried she never gave me any kind of encouragement. I remember when I learned to crochet me a vest, poplar back in my high school days. She looked at me and said you can't learn from a book. She didn't laugh, just looked mean at me! Guess what...I did learn! And she never even made over me for learning. It hurt, and it hurts today. But I know my mom was a very sick person. Sorry to say, but it seems your mom is very sick too.

You have to stay positive. Dont listen to her. You need to do what makes you happy. I ignore my mother, I could never do anything right in her eyes. Its your life and you are important! You need to be happy hang in there!!

Oh girl.. You have to tell yourself every day that your mother is suffering & doesn't mean the things she is saying to you. One of my best friends had the same experience with her mother.. Her mother was an alcohol, had psychological problems, etc. and put her down constantly.. it hurt her so badly & still does today, but now thank God she has accepted the fact that her mother is the one with the problems, NOT her..

You are none of the things that your mother calls you.. You're not stupid, and you can do whatever you want with your life.. Don't let those words phase you or make you believe you aren't worthwhile.

Do you have positive people in your life.. other family members, friends?? Try to spend a lot of time with them so that you are constantly reminded that you are none of the negative things your mother says..

And try to pray for her because if she is talking this way to you, she is most definitely in pain and in need of help..

I'm here if you want to talk XX

Not sure how old you are..this is a case of emotional abuse..If you are in school, you could talk to the school counselor about what is going on at home..have you ever confronted your mom about how her insults make you feel? I know that you cannot go on like this for long..it will break you if it hasn't already.. Please try not to hurt yourself..if you are at wits end, and feel like you have to hurt yourself, please get yourself to a doc, hospital, or the police.. Hugs and good luck xxx

I agree with others here, in that your mom seems to have some disorders going on with her mental health that is causing her to be verbally abusive towards you.

Try to surround yourself with supportive people. DS is a good start.

Seriously, consider therapy also if you haven't already.

obviously your mother is a sick woman.. anyone who would react this way to their precious commodity could not be right in the head..
I was also brought up this way.. My step father always told us what a waste of skin we were.. for example.. you are so stupid, you couldnt poor piss from a boot with the directions on the heel

you will never have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of..

You talk like a woman with a paper asshole.. you are nothing but trash.. what ya been doing out ditch banking? ... ok ok.. this is a little before your time but the same as you are going through..

Pick yourself up and dont let anyone, including your mother, cross your boundaries.. you can do anything you want to do if you put your mind to it and overcome the verbal abuse from your mom.. realize that she is sick and maybe has been raised this way.. (although I was raised that way and would never do it to my boys).... keep your self-esteem up and dont let it get to you.. IMO

I don't think my mom has anything wrong with her but I think she might be bipolar. Someone suggest that to me. I mean one minute she's yelling at me and insulting me then she's all nice and stuff. i think maybe there is something wrong with me. She know she once said i am like her mentally and I don't have some slight mental problems at times. maybe she does. I mean she told me she was physically abused as a child, so maybe thats why. I have no backbone so I just sort of lean back and take it. What's worst is that my sister and brother are in a band, apparently she supports them and not me. She bought my brother who doesn't even what one , a 600 dollar flute and promise my sister one. and she brought me a 20 dollar guitar that nearly made my fingers bleed(she refuse to buy me a 100 dollar one) and it left painful marks on my fingers. I played a guitar before so its not the usual indents from playing.

You are being abused. It will make you feel like you are no good. It is not true. Can you tell a school counselor what you have posted? From what you have said, I think that is what you should do.

I did talk to a counselor and went into group counseling it made me feel a little better but not very helpful, I really want to leave the house but I have no money cause I can't find a job does anyone know a website where a high school senior can find a job near home, I can't drive or have a car.

Go ask your school therapist. They might even know job openings. But one advice STAY in school and graduate. DO NOT hurt yourself and STAY positived.
