Healthy Relationships Support Group
No relationship is perfect. A long-term relationship requires constant effort to understand each other, fix misunderstandings, solve problems and continue to grow as both individuals change and evolve. How we deal with our misunderstandings is the focus of this community. Join us to find support, get advice, and share your experience with your relationship.
I’ve been hospitalized twice in the last week, and just today I checked out and was told to rest. My mom yelled at me called me unhelpful because I didn’t (couldn’t) help her pull out the garden or lift the mower to drain the oil.
She’s even threatened to kick me out and not pay for my tuition for school, which is THE ONLY reason I would stay. She’s verbally abusive all the time and my wounds I got can’t heal properly because she keeps making me do stuff like lifting a mower.
I want her to love me again, but everything I do is always wrong to her, and it often hurts me physically.
Honestly I don’t know what to do.
But all parents get the feeling that they're the Little Red Hen and doing everything from time to time.
Within a week out of the hospital...yeah, you should have time to rest.
After that...find what you can contribute...without being asked. If you can't lift...than maybe you can dust, or make the beds (hers included), or whatever. Maybe make dinner, wash the dishes and tidy up afterwards?
Are you in high school or college?
