[PrincessKitty]

I'm 25 years old. I just recently found out that I'm half Chinese.
I found out that my mother (English) cheated on her husband (at the time) and my biological dad (Chinese) cheated on his wife over a one night stand and here I am.

Since I found out my family came clean to me and even my step dads side who abused me when I was a kid agreed that I am half Chinese.
But my mother still thinks that my step dad is my real dad but I know that's not true.

My mother does suffer from alcohol addiction and schizophrenia (because it runs in the family) I'm not to sure if the lying is from her mental health state or she just likes to lies all the time.
I have to admit she never really was a good mother in the first place. She mentally abused me through out my life; loving my sister more and hated me, blamed me for my birth and her life. Like I ruined everything.
Since I found out that I am half Chinese and stopped taking to her completely. she suddenly stopped treating me badly and started being really loving.
It's weird. To me it's fake. Like, why now?

But I'm not sure if it's out of guilt the way she treated me. She never said sorry but started to say "I love you" but I don't love her.

I think your mother's pathological lying may stem in part from her psychiatric problems. Do you live with her? If so, I would work on getting out and creating some distance. She sounds toxic to you. Good luck.

Sounds like she transferred her guilt about the cheating onto you.
The mixture of Drink and mental health problems are absolutely horric.
Her reality is possibly very warped, almost surreal in comparison to your reality and memories.
It's probably better you keep a protective boundary around yourself as it's not uncommon for abusers in this sense to try and draw their victims back.
She has no one to lash out at and no one to blame while your not there and she may find this quite difficult.

Only you can judge how genuine her behaviour is. Or wether it's another form of manipulation. If your aware enough you could test it out.

But if your just getting yourself on your feet after years of emotional abuse, perhaps focus on getting stable and leave her to find another whipping post.

Take care, all the best.
