My mom has done nothing but throw negatives at me. I have been here since November and any attempt at a positive in my life has been kicked down by her. I wanted to try and do school, she told me no one would have the ability to take me. I got into a relationship with a good guy who lives an hour away and she says he is gonna give up on me because we are so far apart. I have discussed housing, she says they won't give it to me for a long time. I'm talking to disability tomorrow and she insists I won't get but 300$ and I'll never be able to pay my bills if I leave here. So I'm stuck. I wanted to move in with my boyfriend eventually to be in a healthier environment or they've given me the option of section 8. But she says I won't make it. I'm contemplating giving up period. Just ending it once and for all because I can't drive, I can't work and I can't make it without them apparently. I'm so done with life like this.
You are a smart to have figured all the above out. I know it is hard living with her right now, but sounds financially the option. Just try not to listen to her and know that you are a different and wonderful person hugs to you
My boyfriend has helped me talk it out a bit tonight, but I've tarnished how he sees them so he may not want to stay here every other weekend anymore. I just told him more detail.
I have therapy tomorrow and forms to file with the case worker who is helping me get to therapy. She's saying she is the one who will take me when they want mW checked out by their doctor.
My mother is sleeping now, after a long night of downing everyone.
Tomorrow I'm looking forward to!
I'm just glad I got today out of the way, I got sick multiple times today and threw up, nerves probably, and havent eaten. She got offended and told me I never had to eat here again. She has me on food benefits for the household, so I sure as hell will eat here when my appetite returns.
The school stuff has to be back burner, because my memory loss has become pretty bad lately and my therapist says we need to get me stable before I do it.
Thank you all for being here for me, I get so overwhelmed and I honestly believe she likes the attention she gets from me being hospitalized.
Oh I absolutely believe she just SUCKS all that attention up like a big tick, you know, one of those giant, gray, grape-sized ticks?
...Heh, that would explain why she smiles while she makes you sicker, too...she's insuring what's called " Narcissistic supply."
This is why she needs to keep you down.
She gets a power trip by making you feel rotten ( her self-esteem is parasitic; if she can make someone feel worse she feels better...)
...And all that JUICY sympathy she gets for being the long-suffering mother of that poor child!
Never mind that mom's the one sucking out your lifeblood and making you ill...And probably badmouthing you to people so they know just how HARD she has it...
Bless her blackened little heart.
Look up stuff about narcissistic mothers. Think of it as a survival guide.
@ Shake...
Section 8 housing in a larger town, near a community college, or going to a college full time and living there...Maybe you could rent a parked travel trailer somewhere, or a room?
...it sounds like that whole little town isn't very nice, honestly...I mean, if they blame you for being mentally ill and ostracize you? That's kind of sick, yeah?
