Is it normal to hate my mom?

My mother is a control freak.She won't even let me cut my hair.She tries to pick my classes,future job,and she thinks she knows how my own family will be.She knows nothing about me and expects me to have the life that she wants,like I'm her property.I'm a lesbian and have a girlfriend and I won't tell her because I know she'll probably isolate me for the rest of the world forever.She curses me out all the time and she even gets mad when I don't ask permission to eat something.I have to stay locked up in my house and constantly study.She says I must have a certain job that I know I will hate,but I would rather take the course of another job that I even have to be honors to take.Is it normal to hate her for being so very controlling?

    there are a lot of people claiming to hate their family members on here. I personally don't believe that anyone actually hates their family members, they are just mad. this is shown to me by the fact that people take the time to write about them. and it brings about the question: wouldn't you or anyone else feel terrible if they were to see this?

    You need to make your own mistakes so that you don't blame her.

    Explain this to her, that if you hate the course she wants you to take then you will blame her forever! If she has any sense, this will scare her. It is a massive responsibility to take on someone else's life - she would do better concentrating on her own. Your old enough now to make a mess of your life on your own ~ if you are 18.

    Totally normal. Most people don't like to e controlled. Not all mothers are like that, mine certainly wasn't and I'm so grateful to her for that because one of my friends mothers was and that only made her rebel and become naughty. Not even able to get a haircut? That's extreme! How old are you?
