I don't want to put my mom down and say she is a bad person. She isn't and I love her dearly and i know that she loves me. She is very critical of me. Her comments attack my heart and self-esteem. I am on disability and live at home. I have tried to figure out many ways to move out, but I don't get enought finances to do so. My mom is one of those people where it is never her fault and if she did something wrong, I did something to cause her mistake. She makes comments like "you hair looks nice when you do do it," "you need to swim tomorrow morning," "thanks for the muffins, but you never clean the counter right." To my defense, I have been using the same cleaner she does to clean the counter. I am always told I need to do something. A small compliment is joined by a critical remark. I feel really small and that everything that has gone wrong is my mistake. it is easy to say ignore her, get out of the house when she is around. Somtimes, my medical condition makes it hard to leave the house. I am looking for a new therapist that takes insurance. I haven't found anything yet. I know that I need to work on my reactions to those comments and not see myself through her eyes, but through God's eyes. I do know that my mom loves me and wants the best for me. Her words are harsh sometimes. I never live up to her standards. When I do something right, there is another thing that is wrong. I don't like living in that environment. I needed to vent and I didn't know if anyone could relate.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You are doing the right thing by removing yourself from her presence. I hope you can get a good therapist to talk it out, because I know with mine I've learned to slowly forgive my mother and try not to be so resentful towards her after all she did to me in childhood.
Take care of yourself, and focus on your own recovery and not her sharp words. /hugs
Don't attack her, but don't hold back either because if you depend on living with her you can't have this to continue.
