I had finally started to gain self-confidence and was starting to get better when my mom went onto one of her rants about how irresponsible, lazy, *****y, fat, and limited I am....hell, I'm none of those and she should know that. I weigh more then others because I have swimmers legs which makes them bigger from muscle, although I do have a little bit of belly fat I still look like everyone else, I thought I was responsible since I try to keep up with all of my homework and everything else I have and if I do anything wrong I let them know it was me, I'm not lazy since I am in dance, theater, youth, and choir, and sure I act like a ***** sometimes but thats only when she provokes it, and I am NOT limited. I have been getting all kinds of new friends when before i only had friends at church. Also, I now have friends in 3 other states. I don't know why I let her get to me, but as soon as she said that, I got to school, ran to the bathroom and just had to cry out my pain, although it still didn't work so I am trying this.....

OK, so this is hardly the first time. Are the rants always about the same things? When did she first start ranting? How frequently does she subject you to these rants?

Feel free to ignore my nosy questions; I'm wondering what's driving your mom's behavior.

yeah, the rants are generally about the same things, just changed up slightly each time
she first started the rants in 2007
normally she likes to do these rants 3-4 times a week

idk y - Is there something going on with mom that is making her act this way? I know how painful it is when your parents are constantly picking at you. You don't sound irresponsible, fat or lazy and we all have our moments of ****** behavior. Even though it's difficult to let those words go, consider if your mom is really upset with you, or if there is something else she's upset about and she's taking it out on you???

i wouldn't know if she was upset about anything. All I ever hear is how wonderful her students are and all she does is talk good about them. I honestly think she is upset at me for not turning out the way she wanted me to
i have had a total 180 personality flip from when I was younger and she loved my personality when I was younger. I used to be the most out there girl, I was never shy, I had tons of friends and I loved being outdoors
now, I'm very shy, I hate talking in front of people or to new people, I only have a few close friends, and I love staying indoors

Sorry this is going on again, idk y.
