I am 46 years old.my mom died last year.pretty much since I was diagnosed with epilepsy & low iq she would remind me how low my Iq is.she would call me stupid,fat,say no man would love me,never hug me etc.my siblings always picked on me.plus my dad was a jerk to.i never understood why my family would treat me like crap.i cried when my mom died.when she was alive I thought I would never cry when she died.i have no idea why I miss her when she was so abusive to me.but as I got older I realized my mom & others in the family have mental illness.at times the way my mom acted scared me.i think I am mentally ill because of my family mostly

Sadly, abusers don't like/hate themselves and take out their stuff on others. The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans saved my life. My mother was verbally abusive and recently died. I think we mourn for what we wanted to have and never got. We grieve for that mother that we wished that she was.
You may want to consider writing a letter of restorative justice.....that says...this is what you did, this is how it made me feel. Perhaps discussing it in therapy might help...go on and on about her; I find that the more you talk about it/abuse is helpful. Holding in that toxic stuff affects you not only emotionally but physically. |
