I hate my mother

Well, up to the point where I was sent away to foster care, I had a pleasant relationship with my mom. When I was finally back in her custody, I don't know when, but we would have arguments. I felt as if it was her fault for putting me in that situation (she's a drunk) and that it was because of the constant alcohol abuse. I would try to make us work by being the better man. But our fallouts were continuous, how can you try when your parent is the childish one. Up until a point where we had our most major argument (we actually fought before. Well she fought me. I'm a boy.) I wanted to go take care of some of my buisness and she wouldn't let me, so i called her a failure straight up. Mind you the tension we already had. She confronted me, asking me did i like her. (She would always ask stupid questions ... period.) I told her NO! and she tried to throw me out of the house, I gladly left, but not without the insults. That blew me away because she never did that before not even when we fist fought. She said I wasn't anything, she hoped I would die, I'm a fa**ot. I started the name calling first. But it was nothing but the truth. She denied them because she didnt expect me to know those things i guess. But she also proved to be a liar. She must've felt embarrassed beacuse we had an audiance, and she had to be the center of attention which she always tries to be. She's pathetic. She constantly ask do I think I'm all that do you think your better than me. (You said it not me. Why are you mad because I respect myself and carry myself properly.) Now some time has past and I'm back in the house and the least I can do is ignore her. Its that bad that I just can't even look at her when we speak. I hate the way she walks, eats, talks, its all just disgusting to me. Maybe she just wants my attention. But be an adult and learn how to talk to your child appropriately. I spend my days just not paying any attention to her and I can tell that gets to her. She tries to make me jealous, which she never will ( I'm not the jealous type at all. But I can see she's jealous of me. She puts me down when I'm not around.) How can I be jealous of someone as filthy and low life as her. She doesn't even have anything to be jealous of. She doesn't know how to have a decent conversation, all she can do is play (not with me) or talk about herself, which no one cares about, and when someone makes that known she gets an attitude and tries to over talk the person. She can't even listen to others so how does she expect the same respect. We hardly say anything at all to each other and I can feel us growing farther apart. And I don't see that as a problem. Because of the horrible things shes said to me I can't trust her. And once you break someone's trust, it's gone .. she's not even a factor in my life anymore. She can't handle her own and is always leeching off of someone, and has the nerve to complain about something she can't pay for with her own money?! Ugh she just irritates me. She does stuff to irritate me on purpose but I can't say that because she thinks I do the same, which is not true because like I said, shes not a factor. She's so childish and immature, pathetic just a basic person that needs help. I told her she doesn't like herself and she got so upset and was so mad that I didn't act the same she did when she said it back. But I can go on and on but thanks ... please leave feedback. It is much appreciated.

    Well, this just a suggestion, but if and when you can move out of her house. It would be ideal if you could do this as soon as possible. Cut all ties with her until she starts going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and sobers up.

    Take care of your own needs by attending meetings of Al-anon or Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families. Also I would highly recommend seeing a therapist if possible, because I'm sure all of this has left you with plenty of your own issues.

    Whenever you decide to reestablish contact with her make her continued sobriety from alcohol and drugs a condition of staying in contact. If she relapses, cut ties again.

    I don't know if everyone story is worst than mine but me and my mom don't get along. I dont know if i"d say I hate her but I don't like her. I don't like the way she talks because she say whatever comes to her mine without aknowledging other people's feelings. I have a little bro and a little sis and the way she is wid them is tottally different than the way she treats me and I'm not exagerating. Everytime I do something its never good enough for her. She got pregnant of me when she was 16 and I'm 17 and no kids, she didn't go through high school and I graduated but she still thinks I'm a slack of. Sometimes I really feel like I'm adopted and when I think about it, I think that it would be the perfect reason why she is treating me the way that she is but I look a bit like her so that's impossible so I think the reason why she hates me is because she thinks that I ruined her life. I really don't know what to do to make her be proud or even like me , I did everything that a person can do and it still seem like its not working.

      I hope your doing ok. You should pray about it, it would be good to talk to someone with higher power and just talk about it AND everything. God is there and loves the talks, he may even talk back. I was going through foster care and i was crying my eyes out and screaming at God, and he replied to my needs and pain. He dosent speak to eveyone but you may be one of the few. Trust. Put your problem in God's hand and it will be ok. But even so you should talk to someone like a counselor, or a family memeber that you trust that can give you legit help, and don't be afraid to speak out for help. First don't try to live for your mom's approval, if she has a problem with you that's her issue. I would say ask her why she treats you such a way. Of course I never asked my mom why she did the things she did because I couldn't be nice about it. But as long as she hasnt threatened you or put her hands on you for her own hidden reasons I hope your not scared to speak up or speak out. I know it may be hard but treat your mom like you love her. Even though I didn't like my mom I still love her and always want the best for her no matter how things are. Be the bigger person but nit in a way that you seem to be showing off. I would say just ask her, you didn't say if you did anything to provoke her but it is up to you to clear the air. I hope you do and are doing ok.
