Is it normal that i really hate my mother?

I just think she's a nasty person. Normally I'm accepting of other peoples views but hers are just borderline ridiculous.

For example, when talking about Whitney Houston's death (RIP) my Mother said about it being "self inflicted" and deserving of death. I just found that so ignorant. We had quite a solid debate/argument following that about how drug addiction is a disease and not deserving of death. I just can't really like anyone who has such an ignorant, narrow minded view.

Another example would be that she won't let me have my boyfriend in my room. When I ask why, she says she just doesn't feel comfortable with it. To an extent, I can understand this, but I would never do anything when my Mum was around anyway. And she says she trusts me. I just feel like she reacts with no empathy when I ask her things. And I hate that.

A last example would be, after my Grandad's death, she and my Aunt have been fighting over the will and who ends up getting what. I just think that's disgusting. That's literally all they've done and I just think it's horrible.

Is it normal to hate my Mum if she acts this way? Is it normal to hate my Mum regardless of how she acts?

    firstly I don't know how old you are.
    secondly if you are under 18, your mother has every authority and right to tell you what not to do in her house. If she bothers you so much that you feel that you actually hate her, move the hell out and get your place.
    When you get a job,grow up, earn a living, you can do what ever you want,when ever you want, with out having anyone over your head bothering you.
    Until you grow up and act older, she will continue to treat you this way.
    Now if you had a psychotic mentally sick mother -like I have.......that is a totally different story.
    It seems that you have a normal mother who has a good head on her shoulders.
    Just because you have a stupid disagreement about Whitney's death, it doesn't mean she is a bad mother or person.
    There is something you must do, and that something is called GROW UP.

    if you're still living with her , I think she can do what she wants about boys being in your room because (omg) your room's in HER house.
    and to seriously HATE your mother over a stupid opinion about a celebrity's death? shit man , grow up.

    When you got a book to write about how much you hate her you may have some real reasons. Sometimes you just gotta accept your families bullshit.

    None of those reasons you listed should make you hate your mom. Maybe you're just a brat.

    It's normal to dislike your mother as I do sometimes regarding similar circumstances. Hating your mother doesn't sound normal to me. Sorry
