I have been abused by my mom even since currently at 23 years old and now I have stopped spending time with her or my dismissive brother who shuns my mental health
Today I have texted my father on Facebook actually questioning if he knew my mom's true character when he used to be with her and apparently he knew.
He actually gives a damn about me than my mom and the rest of my family.
My mom she has been smacking me for a while and honestly it makes me sad that she does it as she says it isn't hitting but still I'm her son and she does it to me and my brother.
She actually pretends to care about my mental health when there is a suicide attempt or hospitalization then when it's back to normal she just treats me like I'm some type of loser for to push around aka rush to walk all over and when she tells me to tell her I'm struggling, she promises to not take drastic measures which in reality she doesn't give me space and is over protective and overbearing about it.
She actually doesn't care and I don't cry at all or open up to her or call her out as it is a sign of weakness in my eyes and she would find a way to use something against me.
Though yes, in fear I actually want to report her to the police but she mentioned that me emptying the food in the fridge and pantry is theft which I never meant as I was on a medicine that made me eat a lot for a few months until actually getting off of it in a CSU for 4 days that my mom still uses that against me.
I know I don't have enough money for a lawyer to fight back and I know I'll go homeless if I fight back against her legally.
At 18 years old I do admit I made a mistake in my life finally letting out the anger of manipulation and abuse she did to me as I grew up and I mean punched her in the ear hard enough to leave a concussion.
At some point she justified it as me letting out anger from my trauma but years pass and she says it isn't justified anger but as I was 23 ready to stand up for myself after taking smacks, I had self restraint but still wanted to fight her if she laid a hand on me and later she called me pathetic and a loser at some point even though I was out of the CSU ward and still struggling and at some point with depression and didn't bother to see the signs of my struggles or depression.
Luckily, texting on my father on Facebook made me realize he actually cares about me more than my mom and is willing to talk anytime and actually talked me out of suicide out of the blue and didn't do it with performance but actual concern for my well-being.
Honestly my mom has always been able to treat me badly and my brother badly but I don't spend time with her anymore in the house I live in with her or my brother except my pets and friends and father. I'll actually tell my friends next what has been going on behind the scenes too if they understand.
It hurts to look my mom and brother in the eyes anyways.
Hope one of you people have similar stories.
