I can't stand my mother

Me and my mother used to have a nice relationship. Since she travels a lot she used to bring me every where with her. In the past few years I grew up and started having acrylics, doing my makeup and dressing up as every teenage girl does (I'm 17), but I stayed a good student,polite and I wasn't problematic. I realized that I made huge mistakes in life because my mom didn't talk these topics threw with me. I tried drugs I lost virginity at 15 with a friend etc. Now that I'm two years older and more mature i wish I had talked to my mom but she was always too busy for it. I never told her about my virginity or drugs and those things and I was always nice and polite in front of my parents. I asked her why she is not bringing me with her when she goes somewhere anymore and she said that my makeup and acrylic nails embarrass her and she's embarrassed of me. I can't ever talk to her because she always yells at me. She is disrespectful, she always tells me she was way prettier than me when she was my age, she brings me down all the time. As a result of that I always question my appearance and intelligence and I'm unhappy.

    This is NOT normal. You should NOT base any opinion you have of yourself in these things your mother is saying. I'm astounded honestly. If this is a troll post its not funny at all. We all make mistakes. In my judgement sex and drugs arent even mistakes. But you sound also very reflective about what in your judgement you did wrong. You sound like a great kid or woman now frankly. And your mother sounds ill. Borderline personality disorder, and a very severe case. Or something different. Your job is to love yourself even more. It isn't "fair" but it's your job to compensate for the love she isn't giving you. You frankly deserve better. I'm sure you are very pretty.

    Hey, your Mums got problems with how she behaves towards you. Try not to hate her for it. My daughter's mum died when she was 3 y/o Its effected her badly not having a mum. I tried to be a good Dad and a Mum to her but I was hopeless at being a Mum. Only Mum's can be Mum's.

    Try and get her to understand how this is all effecting you and try to maybe look at it like your helping her to be a better Mum.
    You never know, you might just come to love her and think, thank God I've actually got a mum. You just don't know whats going on in that head of hers. Just concentrate on making yourself happy. Then sort Mum out.
    You're young and there is plenty of time to get that Mum you deserve. Good Luck sweetheart.

    I'm sorry to say this but this is absolutely not normal. Your mother is supposed to love you and BOOST your confidence. So what you lost your virginity and do drugs here and there. Your mother is supposed to be there for you, love you and treat you how she wants to be treated. Honestly if she is going to be coming at you cause you wear "too much makeup" and cause of your acrylics, you gotta move on from her because it's like your gonna have her emotions control the way you see yourself. Yeah I understand that is your mother. But you are the daughter. You fight for what is right to feel like one, not an outsider. I think you do you and not give a crap on what anyone says about you. If you like it then you do you. If they don't like it and you do it for them to be happy but your not, your fcking your life over . Do what's best for you. Best of fortune :))
