My mom has a houseguest this week, and she was telling him tales of my childhood - and how awful I was.....and they laughed about it. Yeah, go ahead, give me the badge of demon child....Umm, mom, did you want to tell him about how you and dad used to beat me to a pulp? Or, how about the time you stabbed me with a fork? Let's laugh about that, huh?

It sounds like some anger here! What do you think? I had the same experience- being laughed at and stories of the demon child that I was. I didnt find it funny, I didnt agree with the stories, I thought they were half lies, half truths to make my mother look however she wanted to look. I found my anger (as opposed to acting out) and it feels good to tell the truth. Do you think you would want to go further with what you wrote there about mom laughing at your demon-child-ness? Maybe she created what she is now laughing at. Beating a child isnt going to create a little angel.
