I'm sorry your mom treats you that way. Sometimes parents can be the most abusive of all the people we know.

I'm sorry to hear that your mother abused you. Are you seeking help?

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.
