Mom and me

I have felt that since i am struggling both mentally and physically that I have let my mom down. However she is very verbal, and put me down for being hurt, she wants me well. I find it so frustrating that i cannot do this. She is very angry at me to the point of yellling. Everything i am doing is wrong. I don't wanta estrange myself but how do i protect myself too and my healing.

I'm sorry that your in pain. I just wouldn't bring up your illness to her. You might need to find a therapist who you can talk to. If she brings this up to you. Then tell her that you don't want to talk about it. If that doesn't work then you may need to leave her alone for a while.

Your mom is being very unloving and not supportive to you at all. You can not scream someone into wellness - or we'd all be screaming at ourselves!!! Your mom needs to learn that just because she wants something from you does not mean she's going to get it, especially something you do not have a lot of control over. You are doing the best you can at any given time, that's all any of us can do.

Try keeping your distance from your mom, especially an emotional distance. Try to keep telling yourself that your mom is sick and her actions are her problem. YOU are not the cause of them, you are unfortunately a target of her unhappiness with herself and her issues. Trying to find a therapist or school counselor to help you is an excellent suggestion. Keep posting here also. You need all the support and help you can get in dealing with your mother.
