Good morning, you keep going on because your Mum and that’s what Mums do.Your children are finding their way in life and they think they know it all they think us adults are on another planet,UNTIL their little world starts throwing life’s problems at them and things aren’t as cool as they thought and life seems so unfair to them that’s when they realise they need MUM and depend on you for your wisdom and help and you are always there for them because that’s what Mums do despite the hurt and anguish they bring us keep strong you are now in my prayers x

My teenager/high schooler is mean to me too.

Borderline emotionally & psychology abusive.

And the tough part is is that you have to still Mother them because they are your child & because you love them.

Sometimes it feels like I’m in another DV situation.

I wish us both the peace, love & respect we deserve.

And I’m sorry for your pain & suffering.

You keep getting up because you are YOU. You know you are needed so you keep getting up. That takes a lot of strength. I pray that you become so aware of how much God loves you that it will spill out on your children, too.

The part of you that gets up and on with your life is the core of who you really are, and I've found that our core - our innermost selves - are not damaged by our anxiety or depression. Our anxiety or depression makes it hard to focus on the miraculous beings that we really are, but it's always there. It's what gets you through your difficult days. Thanks so much for sharing your situation.

A lot of bit.ly/kids_are mean at that age. They want their independence, but they still need you for certain things. I will pray that you can continue to be a caring mom.
