So there were some things where my mom was hitting me in the past and stuff when we'd fight and after a while I got really angry about it and depressed, and I was cutting and saying I wanted to die. My mom took me to the doctor and put me on meds because I was mad at her. I was on med after med because of each side affect the last med caused!! I went psychotic crazy because of her and those meds! Now today in the present she makes sure I know that I'm "mental" and "there were a lot of things you were saying and doing that caused you to be on meds", and all I really was was angry because she didn't take responsibility for what she did. Even my therapist agreed that she didn't agree with my mom. People have told me that my mom is abusive, and last night my dad said one day my mom would get a surprise and be confronted with the sherif because of how she treats me and stuff. Is she really abusive? I believe so but just would like to hear some input. Thanks.

It does sound like it...also sounds like she goes great lengths not to take responsibility for it. Even if you do have any mental issues that is no reason for that sort of treatment.

Hello & Welcome, ShantheArtist23. Research the concept "designated patient" (or "identified patient"; it's something that comes up in family therapy) and see if it describes your situation at least in part.
Please make yourself at home.

Hi Shan, your mom is abusive, I'm sorry
![]() Just with.........."my mom was hitting me in the past and stuff", and with some of the things you've said inc previously, I'd say emotionally abusive...........and if people are saying that............ The meds though.........sounds like she completely jumped the first step of understanding or finding out what was wrong and supporting you in working through that, and making some of the changes for you that you needed??? Then with depression and suicidal feelings sometimes the first step for the persons immediate safety needs to be the doctor if............not necessarily saying that might have been the case but............... Still it is good that you're seeing a T now, it sounds like that might have been what you really needed before and a mom who wasn't abusive. Sometimes it can be really hard to see or believe if you're in an abusive relationship/situation. The abusive person can have you blaming yourself, feeling you're at fault/you've provoked them/you deserve it, making excuses for them/their behavior. And maybe you're finding it hard to accept that your mom is abusive, afterall mom's aren't "supposed" to be abusive, are they?? Do you think you could get her to go along to some therapy sessions with you, to "open her eyes" to her behaviour and help her understand/learn how to change her behaviour??? ![]() Alison |
