I don't like my mother!

I've read the thread and it's heartbreaking. My Mum said some very cruel things to me over the years but I could never imagine not forgiving her. But that's me and I don't know but....

You girls are going to have to let it go now. Come the new year.

You are people in your own right, you are not your mothers. I know its good to talk about it and I've followed this thread from when it started way back. But it being Christmas day and with all the struggles people are having to confront today, not just lonelyness, but famine and war, d'you think you could just forgive your mothers and let things be.

If you are being tortoured by her, to this day, at your age, then let her go. But For crying out loud, & I know I don't have to read this thread if I don't like it, maybe if you weren't so defensive and showed some love instead of berating your mothers, you might find what you're looking for has been staring you in the face all along.

Why are you bothering to read this thread or comment when you clearly have no clue about the severity and impact of narcissism? I'm slowly letting go but I will never forgive my grandmother for the devastating effect that she's had on my life. I'm 34 years old and am only really just starting to live. It's taken me a long time to realise that nothing I say or do will change things, and so I am finally starting to let go. But on Christmas Day it does bring it home to you, all the things you don't have and will never have. Yes there are wars, people are dying etc. but this is something that has hugely impacted my life and will affect me to the day I die. I haven't gone into half of what that woman did me to me on here, and I never will. I'd rather try to forget than drag it all up again. I don't see quite who the hell you think you are to belittle what I and others have gone through and have to deal with every day.

And I understand that and it makes me sad. I've been put down myself. I've felt like a mouse for years because of it and at the wrong time come out like a tiger and a few times got in trouble for it. I'm trying to say get strong and don't tolerate it, I spent many years being weak and a victim but when I did fight back I became stronger.

I'm sorry, having been there fought back, I've little sympathy for those that haven't yet done the same.

It's called... compassion fatigue.

What on earth are you banging on about, have you had too many babychams?

Most posters on this thread don't put up with the abuse anymore, hence
coming on here for support. In a previous post, you said that we should all forgive and forget, therefore opening ourselves up to more abuse and accepting it won't change. You might want to expand your knowledge on this subject, you clearly have no understanding of the issues faced by posters on this thread.

It's not the best attempt at trolling that i've ever seen but bless you for taking the time out of your day to give it a go. Buh bye.

But I'm not critisising. I think to throw in an opinion on a thread is all good an well but you see that now you are acting defensively for the poster and against my opinion.

This is what is wrong, only she knows the whole story and can stick up for herself. God only knows her Mother's point of view. She could have been an awful daughter.

Wow. You are doing it in a passive-aggressive way but you clearly are criticising. I don't know what your motivation is but you are clearly trying to get a rise from people who have shared painful memories or you are just doing it for attention.

Oh I've given pleanty and that's my point, I've said what I feel to those that have abused me - you haven't and that's your problem. It takes a brave soul to stand up to those bullying or abusing you, You are still a target cause you have'nt confronted you worst fears or your mother, so give me some credit. I'd rather be lonely than continue to put up with your misery.

How old are you and how long are you going to continue to play the role of a victim?????

As I just posted on your 'I'm all alone in world' thread, I would love to chat, but I need to go prepare tea for my FAMILY

PS-If you could read you would now my age.

Wow!! No, I don't want this sort of attention. My motivation was to link up with a few people on Christmas day as I was feeling terribly lonely. Then I saw this and other threads come up and thought Oh my God!! are people really talking about this on Christms day??? The problem has been talked about for months, I just didn't expect it to have the same relavence as those feeling alone today.
So now I'm really angry as to your response suggesting I'm a troll or out to upset people. I'm telling you I've been there and you cannot let it go on and on and on and affect your adult life, cause how are you going to cope with other scenarios when you can't let go of your Mum beating you when you were a child?
& If it was that bad, she wouldn't be talking about it or online at all.

Why do you think people might be talking about it on Christmas day, maybe because this time of year stirs up memories for people. It's none of your business how long people take to get over traumatic experiences anyway.

Oh so you're lucky to have your own family now eh??

You just consentrate on the next generation and hope to god you give them the love you so lack from your Mum, then you can be proud of yourself and leave the past behind.

Yes I have a family.
And I am also too grown up to play this little game with you. I realise you are ALL ALONE, but you are going to have to find a new friend to play with.

BYE BYE.

For starters I am not a woman !!! well last time I looked I wasnt anyhow, so what has just being awoman got to do with it ? f all thats what.

As for your comment above I have certainly told my mother what I think of her and wished her dead to my face, I am no target nowadays but it still gets to you every now and then, as for forgive and forget....f that ! I cant stand the bloody woman why should I forgive her for depriving me of a childhood.

My childhood was spent not knowing who my mother was going to be from one day to the next, one day she would be my mum, the next she would be speaking in an American accent, another day and she would be a child. That went on all through my childhood and into my early adult life where eventually I left home.

Then it started all over again until I am where I am now, personally I dont care if I ever see her again, in fact I have even told my brother the next time I see her will be at her funeral.

Personally I dont see how you can critisize when you have been there yourself, as for my story and that of sommer ours is slightly different as we have had mothers with mental disorders, and as I said earlier unless you have had to cope and care for relatives with mental disorders you will have no idea what we have had to suffer.

As for it being christmas day and talking about it so effin what, its another day thats all.

How long will we carry on the role of a victim ? probably for the rest of our lives, what's it got to do with you ? nowt !

As BT said in their adverts....its good to talk but not to pillocks like you.

Bye, but just think about things and what's important here. Take control - you are head of the household now, it's up to you to get it how you want it.

Like you. And you wonder why you are all alone in the world.
