Help in dealing with a toxic parent.

[swimminghusky]

I am the victim of continuous mental and emotional abuse by my mother. She continuously oversteps the boundaries I have set up and almost goes as far as to try and control my finances. It hasn't gotten that bad but she is always putting me down and making me feel like a piece of crap. I've had therapy but that doesn't help my financial situation in terms of getting away from this woman. The only hope I have is when this pandemic stops I have a new job that will allow me to travel a lot. I have supportive friends but don't want to keep putting stuff on them as they have their own issues. If I could just get some help and support over the next few months I feel like things would get better. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi I suffer from emotional abuse from my parents too. I have learned to just avoid them and sit in my room and if they say anything I go for a walk hope that helps

I’d be walking all day if I walked away from my emotional abuser. Don’t they attack you when you return?

Yeah, that helps, thanks!

How old are you?? Why do you not get a place if your own?

sometimes parents act toxic without even realising it! I don't know what would help but the option of getting away is a good one so yea try to get another job and create a little distance

untill then, try to keep things calm

I don't really get the situation though! how does she controle ur finances?

Best way to curb the bullying type parental behavior is to TAKE YOUR POWER BACK .. if she cannot get a reaction out of you from her pushing your buttons simply to start an argument or in my experience start harassing, heckling, pushing, and verbally bullying someone for their own MORBID AND MALICIOUS ENTERTAINMENT. not everyone or everything deserves your reaction, attention, energy, your precious time and definetely NOT YOUR PEACE .. even if you got to fake that happy on the outside for a bi .. fake it to make it .. killin foes with kindness still holds power. Keep your head up.
