The main thing that is stopping me from doing so is her reactions to certain things. The first one that comes to mind was that someone asked if I was in mainstream classes, at the time I didn't care what is meant and my mom said I was. Later on she started to scream at me saying how they thought I was a retard. She has also made fun of me wanting candles in the bathroom during a blackout, saying that I was afraid of the dark and wouldn't listen to me when I said otherwise. She oftentimes makes fun of me, I dont think I can trust her to know anything about my mental health. Is there a way to trust her again or should I just not try?
Try the age old trick- tell her but tell her indirectly. Pretend you're talking about a friend and see what she says or how she reacts it'll give you a good idea whether or not you can trust her with this. I'm sorry you even have to debate telling her. Is there another in your life that you can confide in? Maybe a relative or a neighbor or even your best friend's parent (s)
