family

I keep on trying to be perfect, but the person who brings me down is my own mother. She points out every flaw I have, she discriminates me like I'm not enough for her world.

Mine does the same 😔

Forgive her, she probably doesn't realize what she is doing. My father was very punitive and critical. It caused its damage . But it came from his disordered and deranged mind. You could seek your validation here that your father can't give you

Hi. Sorry to hear about the way your mother treats you. It’s stressful and it’s bad for your self esteem. I can relate to you. My mom does the same thing. There’s always something wrong with me. That’s the reason I’m so anxious 😟

actually now we are starting to get close, but thank you and have a nice day or night

I had that same mother. They can do a lot of damage. I'm not sure how old you are but I would suggest talking to someone about this.

It does effect you even deeper than you think. It doesn't go away as you get older. The painful wounds are always going to be there.

You cant change her. But, you can educate yourself on why she does this. In doing that you will see it has nothing to do with you. There is something wrong with her and you can learn some coping skills for this.

I was blaming my family for last 4 years for pretty much all the things i dont like about me. You know, funny thing is that i am right. But her flaws are now my flaws.She is in pain to and dont know how to overcome it. My mother has insanely low self esteem. So for now i distance myself so i can burry myself out of it. When i do those words will no longer hurt me.

And yeah. Noone is perfect.

Mine was just there & absent. That hurt. My dad was like you say. Ask her how she’s treating to make you feel when she says something like that. She’ll answer. Then say my life and heart and love for you would grow if chose not to say them. I want to love you more. See what she says.
