Would you consider this emotional abuse? Mood
Saturday, February 28, 2009 | A Call For Help story

My mom, whom I love very, very much and would do anything for, can sometimes be a bit mean. It's only when she's really angry at me about something, that she berates me by saying really awful things. I know they're only words, but God, they cut to the depth of my soul. She has been this way since I was in high school and I don't think it's normal. I have NEVER seen or heard my husband's mom say anything mean or nasty to him. I just want to know if it's normal for my mom to be this way. My husband always tells me how mean she is to me. It's so pathetic, because I have dreams in which my mom hates me. HATES ME! Maybe she really does. Let's see, when we've had arguments in the past, she has said things like....... you are worthless.... I don't know how your husband puts up with you..... I'll cut your heart out and feed it to you.....you are no good.....you don't get off your fat ass to do anything.....you never do anything for me....and on and on. When I lived at home with her, the arguments were horrible and the things she would say to me.I don't know how many tears I have shed because of her words.  There are 5 other siblings but I'm the only one who gets treated like this. I'm the ONLY one who goes to her Dr.s' appointments with her, takes her to the airport, has been there for her every day for the past 37 years! Innocent Whatever. I guess it is what it is.

    you cant allow yourself to be treated like this, you cant change how your mother behaves but you can change what you are willing to accept, this is very unhealthy for you, you KNOW you deserve better, would you ever treat a kid of your own like this, please dont allow it to continue, speak to your mum, tell her how you feel remind her shes the mother and meant to be the role model, if she is not able or willing to change its her loss, x

    Yes it is mental abuse. I too am suffering the consequences of this from my mother, she used to call me evil and sadistic as a teenager and it still rings in my ears at 38, among many more hap hazard lashing comments ........I feel for you but it wont stop until you stop allowing it. Believe me I know its not easy......I am trying too .....love and hugs xx
