Is it normal to hate your mother?

I've always had self-confidence issues, for well over a decade really. Until one day I realized that no one in their right mind comes to you and calls you fat, or ugly, or stupid. It was actually my mother who called me those.

My mother likes to act like she's a teenager. Always trying to tell me how to dress, as if I haven't outgrown that. Always saying men are 'a dish', as if I asked her for her two cents.

If you say something so much as 'I don't like what you're wearing,' instinct tells her to grab the nearest object and whack you on the head with it.

She makes it pretty clear she regrets having me, and that I embarrass her, even though ninety percent of the time I have no idea of what I did.

I never know what she does with her money. Even though she has a well paying job, she acts as if she doesn't have a cent, and always yells at me whenever I ask her for something as small as money for lunch.

She's always calling me a lazy-ass, and when I was around eight, would always tell me I'm 'full of shit'. Every Saturday she'd storm into my bedroom and yell at me to clean my 'shit' up. Then she'd force to clean the entire house from top to bottom, and rage on about how she has to slave every day of the week. We have a maid who works from Mondays to Friday's, and I clean every weekend so I honestly don't know what the hell she's talking about.

I've always thought this kind of treatment is what all mothers do, but after looking at my friends mothers, I'm starting to think otherwise . . . so, is it normal that I hate my mother?

    I think it is normal that you feel this way about your Mother. She isnt acting like an adult more like a spoiled child.
    This is not normal Mother behaviour. I hope it gets better for you. *hugs*

    We always think mothers and fathers have to be better than us. They're not. They're just people with the same flaws we have, our friends have, our children have. And when we are parents, we'll still have the same flaws we always had. Hopefully, they're not bad enough to make our children hate us.
