Is it normal i hate my mom?

I don't actually hate her, but when she gets me mad, I will say that I hate her, and I'll eventually cool off.

I RARELY lie the days, and whenever she asks me something, she says that I lie. She doesn't even have proof! She just assumes it's me, and accuses me. And if I deny doing it, she yells at me! My dad has been dead for a year now, and with no one to help me, I'm really worried.

My aunt came over for a while for a visit, and she told my mom, that I sneaked some doritos out to eat them. I DID NOT!

I admit, I really like doritos, but she thinks that since I lied alot when I was FIVE years old, that im still lying!
It's either that she mistook me for someone else, or my mom made it up. It's just so maddening!

And the thing is, I can't defend myself! If I deny doing it ONCE, she goes "DONT LIE! YOUR THE ONLY PERSON IN HERE!" Im crying right now, because I am really mad at her, but I really don't want to hate her.

I wish that she would listen to me for ONCE without taking my games away, only for trying to tell her my point.
She is usually nice and considerate, but it just maddens me to the point, that I get mad back, and I look like I'm a living, erupting volcano.

It's not just that. It's my grades, too.
I'm in a really bad cycle.
Here's how it goes: She gets mad at me for having ONE bad grade, then I get depressed, and I can't pay attention in class the next day, and then when my grades come out, she get's mad at me, again, and the whole cycle keeps going!

I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place.
I don't want her to keep getting mad and accusing me without proof first, but If I ask her to at least try to find proof that 'I sneaked Doritos out, so no one would see me', or 'I'm not doing my homework'. I barely get ANY homework at all!

    Your mother only gets mad about doritos bcuz she wants u to be healthy. She gets mad about grades bcuz she wants u 2 succeed. Get ur head out of your ass and look at everything she does 4 you and MAYBE you could stop to consider FOR ONE MINUTE that now that your dad is gone, she has NO ONE TO HELP HER EITHER! help her get u up everymorning, feed you, get u 2 skool, pay the bills, etc etc etc. Your mom does not get mad just for the fun of it. She is probably under stress and would likely give her life for your happiness. Get over yourself and show the woman some love. If you have issues that you want to discuss w her, do so when you are not fighting, but approach her while you are both calm and explain your point of view on a given topic.

    Having negative feelings about being treated unfairly is normal. Go to your school guidance or a youth clinic and get some counselling help. Way better to get support and good advice now than to just suffer and be depressed and watch your grades spiral down. You are not the only one - lots of people and families go through hard times. Do something constructive about it.

    yes what darkblue pretty much said. put yourself in ur mothers shoes. it is a very difficult role. she's raising you alone. try to imagine it.. what you become as a person, heavily relies on her. it's a huge pressure, constant stress and worrying. everything she does is for it own well being in the future.
    usually it's also the responsive tone, u have to stay calm when she gets mad because she is in more pressure than I, so u have to be the one with the cool head. answer calmly that u didn't do it, work out solutions together slowly. the moment u raise ur voice to reply her, it will auto spark negativity and she raises her voice too and all sense is gone. ok wow I babbled a lot ... I'm out

    I understand this must be very difficult and somehow suffocating..like too much pressure and anxiety..Sometimes, our parents put too much pressure on us..and believe me, most of the times they don't mean to! I'm not saying you should not question your mom's attitude and simply tolerate it..it will make things worse probably..I'm only saying, try to understand why is she doing this. For example, you mentioned that your dad passed away like a year ago, so has she ever been like this or changed into his pattern lately? Which one of them was closer to you? Which one took care of things more, or assumed more responsibility?..Maybe she's having hard time coping..or maybe she feels kinda alone..of course she has you, but she's the adult..she's the one who should take care of you..so maybe she's afraid she wouldn't be able to handle things right, so she's being tough on you..maybe this is her way of trying to help you be a better person (with her "don't lie! don't lie") but of course she's doing it the wrong way..

    Anyway, this is just reading into the whole situation..I'm just trying to imagine why she's doing this..you can think about that too, of course you know better..

    Now my idea, I'm sure your mom loves you, and like you said you don't really hate her..you just can't tolerate her behaviour..Make her trust you..so if she accuse you again of lying, don't yell, don't shout..just insist that you're not while being calm. Don't challenge her or go into arguments with her..but try to prove her assumptions or I may call it "fears" wrong by being responsible..you can also confide in someone who is close to both of you, like a family member..tell them about the grades situation and how this reflects negatively and not positively on you..ask them to talk to her and tell her to ease up a bit (but as if you haven't ask them so she won't get defensive)..

    I really hope this has helped..my sister and mom have always had many troubles when we were young and I couldn't help but notice how things would have been a lot easier if they had only tried to step into each other's shoes

  • I know how it feels to be accused of being something your not and doing things you didn't do and no one will listen or believe you. My grades dropped exponentially at that time. I did enough to pass my classes except one class I was struggling in because you couldn't really bs your way through it. I think I may have even had an F at some point because I didn't do part of a large project.

    I "hated" them too. Them being my dad and his girlfriend. To this day I think I'm a little bitter about it all. Partly because I'm realizing all the sneaky shit my dad tries and for him to judge me based on a bunch of bull shit? He never knew me so he based who I was on who my mother was. Still, he was never around and I was left with his semi-psychotic girlfriend. He believed her, always. If anyone brings her up in conversation I say I don't give a fuck. She is less than a stranger to me, meaning I will have NOTHING to do with her ever again. I suppose she's the closest thing to hate I've ever felt.

    Similar to you getting your stuff taken away they would make me do useless things when I asked to go out. One time I had to do all my laundry but get this, they weren't dirty! Shit like that.

    For me, it didn't matter if there was proof or not. It sounds like your mom would still find something to yell at you about even if proof were right in front of her face. There's always something even when there's nothing.
