I am new to this board so I am not sure what to expect. Does anyone out there have a Mom with schizoid personality disorder? My therapist says that it sounds like that is what my mom has. Mom also has problems with depression that she is in denial about. My mom was completely emotionally unavailable to me. I have no memories of her hugging me or telling me she loves me. She never smiled at me. She would ignore me when she was angry with me, and nothing I ever did was good enough. As I reached my teen years and early 20s she became more emotionally abusive. She referred to me as a slut and has accused me of trying to be seductive to my uncles. Which I would never do. I wasn't promiscuous either. When I left her house my self esteem was in the gutter. therapy helped a lot. I confronted her by letter regarding the emotional abuse and neglect. she denied it and my father refuses to believe me. I have been made the black sheep of the family because I am the only one who had the courage to confront her. It is also painful that my siblings don't believe me even though some of them have had lots of the same experiences with her. They tell me to stick by family no matter what. I believe more in setting healthy boundaries. I can't go back to being that depressed. I finally feel like I am getting stronger now.
