I am also ''a useless'' person since several sociopathic abusers told me this and I can not cure those friends who I love who are also suffering, and I am not very practical.
When my mother, who told me I ''gave her no pleasure'' and that she was ''sick to the back teeth'' of me threw me out onto the streets she said ''you will sink or swim'' and ''I cannot be your meal ticket''.. she had luxury holidays and lived in a lovely house while i lived in tiny rooms with abusive men or *****y girls. Or on the ''streets''... no wonder I becane a bear.
She ''justified'' her callousness by saying I had been ''spoilt''...and was ''selfish''. NO. They were mean with money, with ''love'' with everything. I had NO BRICKS as a toddler - and I was blamed endlessly for ''not being practical'' (she could not be bothered to teach me anything about how to be a woman) but they could afford to pay abusive au pairs who came and went to ''look after'' me so SHE did not have to ... and then they abandoned me.
One of the au pairs pushed me down the stairs and I broke my arm. Then Two more broken limbs. And abusive nurses in the hospital
And living in squalid ''bed sits'' with entry level jobs (I was too ''sick'' to fulfill my ''potential'' .. I have a degree. She said ''i will not let you live under my roof to take a business course or secretarial course

My ''chronic'' anxiety attacks prevented me fulfilling my ''potential'' as a teacher or as anything else. I ''should'' be grateful I was able to find menial employment so I did not
I guess I am ''a worthless person''
My empathy, thoughtfulness and compassion for others is ''nothing''
I am so unworthy,
Please do not post about how you threw your son out onto the streets so he could ''learn to stand on his own two feet''.. I am FEMALE. I have NO SIBLINGS. They wanted me to be ALL ALONE and to be PUNISHED for being me. I would NEVER do that to any child of mine

Those were the words the maternal unit said to me ''stand on your own two feet''... and ALL ALONE (someone posted to me years ago telling me how she had thrown her son out and my thread was derailed by people supporting her, and I was the OP. I did not even say anything

How dare I speak MY truth?
