i hate my mother
so i still live at home and have a brother and she’s a classic boy mum which i suppose has forced me to become a daddy’s girl since he’s the only parent i can rely on.
She never wants to spend time with me unless my brother is busy, doesn’t ask me anything about myself and i honestly can’t remember the last time she complimented me. It seems no matter what I do its never good enough, a small argument can lead to 4 days of silent treatment. I can remember her being like this since high school time and i’m mid 20’s now it’s just so toxic and childish to be around. I’m constantly on eggshells trying to figure out which way she would be acting today and try match my energy to hers. I have tried biting my tongue and nodding along or even actually discussing my feelings - anything but sinking to her level of shouting and she’s always the victim.
I would love to go no contact when I do eventually move out but I don’t want that to become awkward for my dad and rest of my family.
I don’t know if i’m asking for advice or just simply ranting but it feels good knowing there’s so many reddit posts of people feeling the same way.
why are mothers this way towards daughters? :(
