Thanks Mom For Only Giving Me The Material And Not The Emotional Love I Want.

Well were all here to support each other. Never feel alone, because you're not the only person in this world with the same pain. :(

I feel the exact same way as the both of you! I'm fifteen right now and I often want to go out to parties or with guys or even just my friends and because I don't drive yet, my mom dosen't ever want to drive me anywhere so I end up spending the whole evening feeling like crap and being alone on my computer with nothing to do. Also, my mom always gets upset for the stupidest things and then just like you she starts saying I'm a ***** and I never do anything right and stuff and she always tries to get my dad to jump in with her. It's almost like she is trying to alienate me (don't know if that is a good word for the situation) from everybody else. She never considers my feelings and the fact that I love hagging out with my friends, partly because they show me more love than she does. My mom always tries to humiliate me and bully me around, I don't even want to be seen in public with her anymore. I don't know what to do. She is so out of control and she expects me to respect her, but she dosen't respect me at all! I'm tired of all of this and tired of always ending up alone in my room feeling bad. This whole thing is also afecting my work at school and my social behavior because I always excluded from everyone. At least I know I'm alone! Thank you for sharing your stories.

Oh thanks, I honestly felt I was the only person who felt like this. It doesn't make it better, that there are people who feel like this out there, because NO ONE wants to feel like that :/ But you're completely right. Thank you so much for the support <3

Hey -



Well first off I completely feel the exact same way as you. I am too an only child and everyone tells me I'm spoiled but I always respond back with "no I'm not" and I think thats because even with all of these material objects I don't feel the love that should come with them. Of course, I appreciate everything that I'm given, but once I have them she thinks I'm unappreciative because one moment I'm nice and the next I'm not (according to my mom).

I think part of the reason why we don't get along is because were SO different. There are so many things about her that really get to me. So maybe where our situations differ is that my mom sees the good in me, whereas I don't see the good in her? I don't know what the problem is, with our relationship but either way something is wrong, and just like you I envy my friends we have close relationships with their mother. I can't talk to my mom about anything thats going on in my life and I really wish I could. I feel like I'm going to live the rest of my life without that mother-daughter relationship that I really want!

Unfortunately, I really don't have any suggestions to give you. But if you haven't already, maybe you can tell her how you feel. I've talked to my mom about it and it seems to appease some of our tension for a while. I'm sorry shes made you feel so bad about yourself, but please know that NONE of it is true. I can tell from your post that you are going to great things in your future, especially with college and all of the opportunities that lie before you. If her actions towards you don't change maybe shes not the type of person that you need to keep close to you. I know thats weird to think about considering shes your mother but sometimes being surrounded by attitudes and actions like her, will probably bring you down instead of up.

I really do hope your relationship with your mother gets better. Don't let her distract you from school or any other activities; because when you do leave the house, you're going to need that strength and indecenc to carry yourself.



Good Luck! :)

PLEASE CMT & LEAVE ME SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO =/
