Is it normal to hate my mother ?

I finally have found the courage to say this. I hate my mother. I despise her with every fiber of my being. I hate everything about her from the way she talks down to the way she looks. I just can't stand her. My whole life there has never been a connection or pull to her. Recently I've been battling depression and she literally doesn't care or understand. Everything she discussed with my therapist was all for show. All my life she has treated my younger brother like the golden child. I'm not jealous just tired of being around her. I'm only 18 and I'm so ready to move away and get on with my life. I'm not a violent person but sometimes I just want to throw things at her head to make her shut up. All she does all day is yell, complain and moan about how horrible her life is. She is the equivalent of how people think I should act at this age. She basically is a child in an adults body. Everything I know I had to teach myself. I can't stand being around her and for the sake of my sanity I have to find something so that I can move away. I just have to

    Robindronath Tagore once said, "Parents think that Nothing is horrible in this world but the 18 years old child is.." You should find a job, then stand before your mother and see what your mother says..

    It is normal to feel hatred towards your mother at some point in your life. For the sake of your own mental well being I sincerely hope that you are able to move past it. This will take time and probably space. Although you may never be able to get along with her, you must realize that she has likely done the best that she could with what life and experience has given her. Forgive her. She is flawed as is anyone.

  • Normal. Not fair that you hate her for example her looks, but you clearly got some reasons to despide her. Be careful.
