My mother is a narcissistic, demon possessed jodona

Why does society keep telling me that I'm not allowed to hate my abusive, soul sucking, demonic mother? She is hypocritical and rude. Manipulative, constantly in a pity-me mode. Publicly she is the complete opposite! She always has been. She is a pathological liar. The worst part is how my dad always backs up her crazy ass shit stories and make believe fantasy worlds. She can be so evil if you don't go along with her fantasy world. To this day she constantly demands that I treat her “with respect because I am your mother.”

Here's the letter I wrote to her:
You want to know what's going on? You are beyond exasperating. I have told you numerous times that your complaining (without the goal to solve your problem) is beyond normal and I can't take it. When I tell you I can't take it you tell me “I'm being too sensitive, and deal with it”. Wow. Your insensitivity is exasperating.
You obsess. When I tell you to calm down or that it is normal to feel that way you get worse. When you become overly dramatic, complaining about how hard it is to clean or that it takes you 20 minutes to make your bed – whew – then I become worried because everyday chores seem so extremely difficult for you. When you tell me about complete strangers in your life and your terribly dramatic and horrific experiences I honestly don't know what to say, because if I remain silent and listen you become obnoxious in your story telling, appearing like you need to get a rise out of me. If I do respond you always turn my response into a negative one. So I don't want to listen to you. You make me uncomfortable in how you turn your information sharing session in an attack.
You speak your mind all the time. As in, never appropriately, and rarely pleasantly. I can't remember the last time you ever were polite to me, saying please or thank you. Was it Jan 2013? In the past year, if you say anything to me, it is always to let me know that you think - very little of me or that I am the cause of your stress. You “don't trust” me. You “fear me”. You convinced Dad that the whole reason you had to move to TX was “to take care of me”. You have told me that you believe I “don't love you” or that I “hate you.” You put words in my mouth and presume to know things about me or my mental state that you know nothing about. When I do tell you that you make me uncomfortable or angry you become immediately worse. You become even more verbally and emotionally abusive in the long run.

Yes, I walk away from you because you are a Bully, as a noun: “A blustering, browbeating person, especially one habitually cruel to others. You do this to me constantly. You do this to my husband. We can't stand to be around you when you “have to make a point”, especially when your point is absurdly wrong about a situation... Rude... Illogical... Vicious. Mostly when we are alone, but you have a great way of saying or doing something that will trigger a memory of those alone moments of your abuse to me. And they are so calculated it is impossible for me to believe that you don't do it on purpose! You are so double minded.
First, that is my house. Second, I'm done having a relationship with you. Before we made the trip out here to TX you started demanding outrageous family hierarchy rules and behaviors, and doing odd things. Things that we never agreed to. Things that fly in the face of respecting my marriage and my relationship to you as an equal adult in a shared household. Daily it became worse. By October your only excuse is that you were stressed and could be afforded the luxury of acting this way, and later that you lost a suitcase full of gold and gems I knew nothing about but it was my fault – I probably stole it. Why didn't think to tell me about this suitcase before we left VA? When I asked about it, because you brought it up months later after you moved in and were acting horribly to me, you snapped. That moment is really the turning point for me.
You have told me that I'm “stingy, rude, lazy, selfish, thoughtless, depressed, crazy, demon possessed, a thief, insane, dangerous, uncaring, your baby girl....” I am none of those things. I am a truthful and confident woman who is tired of you constant uneasiness, distrust and obvious need for my subservient attention. I would be happy to give you positive attention if you were not so horrible. You have made it very clear that you want to “be treated with respect” because you are my “mother.”
As far as I can tell a mother should be peaceful, kind, humble, strong when stressed, thankful, and accepting of her children's accomplishments. I don't get any of that from you. Your idea of being proud of me is to exaggerate who I am and what I do, as if my accomplishments are not good enough for you. Since last year it has turned into outright making fun of my hobbies and travels. You make disparaging remarks about my hopes, goals, activities and are constantly remarking how “you just can't trust anyone” or that “people suck”. It is shocking how negative you are concerning me. Never encouraging, never upbeat. Just negative. Can't you just not say anything at all? It's like you just want to piss me off. All the time.

Do not talk to me alone. Do not expect me to talk to you. It is obvious that you want nothing more than to have any excuse to berate me, even if it is to make up some imaginary slight against you. For years you have done this to your own family. You still do this. You have proven to me for almost a year now that you will rarely respect me or talk with me in a reasonable manner. If you want respect from me, something we had hoped to work on in counseling, then act like a civilized adult and show some respect to me. Stop labeling me. You are always wrong when you label and always do it to be emotionally and verbally abusive.

When you decide you would like to have a positive relationship with me;
one where you are not confronting me and my word or actions at every conversation with you;
and when you are comfortable enough just sitting next to me without saying anything or becoming paranoid;
when you can hold your tongue when you think you have something to say to me that will not help;
when you can avoid attacking me and using any of the negative adjectives that you use to describe me of which were mentioned earlier;
when you can talk to me without being emotional or trying to emotionally rile me up,
when you can stop putting words in others mouths as a way to strengthen your point;
then write back. Until then, there is no way I can enjoy sitting with you or talking with you.

    She has gone out of her way to destroy my best and most wonderful relationships. She did her best to destroy my soul, my will, my life, my friends, my marriage. She has done and said the most evil crap ever - and how could I forget that? She still does it.

    I had to start journaling it to remind myself that her evil antics actually happened!~ People would brush off her actions, my dad would forget, my mom would demand that I “forgive”... but I can't! And I will not. I will never forget, but thank GOD for EFT. That is healing me and helping me to move on!

      wow... im 21 and my mother is almost exactly like this, has been since I was very young. Anytime something tiny goes wrong between us, that's it, everything that's done is don't to verbally or emotionally abuse me, her intention is to just make me feel like pure shit no matter how much I say: "just stop this now, I don't want this argument, lets just stop no more, just end the conversation cause its going to get worse", but she doesn't, she makes it worse as though she relishes in it so long as I feel like shit...

      ive never heard of anyone else with a parent like this, but my mum is seriously controlling too, or was when I lived with her. But again, to make me feel like pure shit and fuck my life up, she threw me out (telling the police I was throwing her round the house, when id actually just been crying and sitting a lot of the time taking all kinds of verbal and physical crap). so now I live depending on my friend for now, no money, I look into the future and just don't understand how im supposed to get anywhere. She went round telling my entire family and some of my friends that I used to beat her, and that she couldn't take living with me anymore cause I was an arsehole to her, but I wasn't, I tried to live quietly, it was very much like your mother. so aparently, im the one that's made her life so hard for her, and yet shes the one that keeps coming back into my life constantly, and im the one that just wants to be away from her more than anything, she has such a bad affect on my general well being, I literally cant look in her direction, it makes me feel uncomfortable. The worst thing is everything she did, and yet no one will ever know, the whole family thinks its cause im just a reckless son who doesn't give two shits about his mother and made her life hell, but it was her who would always moan and complain about the slightest thing, and when I didn't respond as much as she wanted, that's it, the situation would blow up, and id be the one stamped as a cunt. not just by her, but then by my family because she would meet them without me, and spread constant stories... I know their made up, because if she did tell the truth, my family might of actually asked what was going on and told her not to carry on like that.

      anyway sorry to vent to fuck, I kinda understand why you wrote so much now, ive never really told anyone this but its in my head most days. Everything is so similar though, my mother even complains and says such negative things about people she knows fuck all about, strangers and she will build hugeeee assumptions. But I cant get away from her, she just wont stay out of my life despite her being the one to throw me out, which came from me chewing the end of one of her pens, her ranting bout it and saying I never respect anything of hers, and me just trying to explain ill buy her another one, but no, that's not good enough so she carries on, so I get sick and tired of this knowing all she wants is an argument, so I tell her shes wasting her breath and to just stop, then boom, that's it, six hours of absolute emotional distress, and then im thrown out by the police and rumours are spread that I made her life hell. ive honestly never been made to feel so emotionally distraught by anyone in my life, and I think you did the right thing to get away from your parent, from the sounds of it, there was nothing more you could do with that kind of mentality, you just have to get far far away.

    I think my mother became possessed somewhere somehow the bitch from hell atheist soul sucking ice cold lying sack of shit. face book is a nightmare giving her nosey ass a forum to create and project her fake nice old lady persona it makes wanna throw up when I see her on her computer from 8 am until midnight every day all day on face book her name is every where on everyone I know page liking everything . I had a job since I was thirteen . I held a good job for 18 yrs until having a brain aneurysm on a night shift. I tried to go back to work but now I had epilepsy and migraines and ended up on disability . soon after my father passed away leaving the bitch in control of five properties and $200/000 , I asked at that time to buy one of the houses on a rent to own basis paid directly from my gov. disability and myself . Nope ! she sold that house and two other ones leaving herself in the 5 bedroom house and I ended up on the street on drugs hopeless and confused , eventually I ended up a cleche' living in her basement while she lied and bitched about me so she wouldn't look bad . I needed that house for me and my kids to have a place to be safe but she ruined any chance of me ever owning my own place . Everything she owned was earned by my father yet she went out of her way to fuck me over ..? There is so much I haven't said about her evilness because it would take forever to tell all the shitty things about this creep . Pure evil Narcisisstic self cen6tered bitch , where do ugly people like this come from ? hell is where and when she dies I hope im there to tell her how absolutely little she will not be missed at all, I miss my dad .......

    Unfortunately, we have the same mother. People come in all varieties - some kind and some really ugly and cruel. Just because someone gives birth to a child, does not mean that they are going to be a fit parent, especially when they weren't a decent person to begin with. My mother is still a pain in the arse nightmare to deal with. I have children of my own now, and she's no better grandparent than she was a mother. I really don't want her around my kids at all, but she has threatened some kind of "grandparent rights" crap on me to bring in social services when I tell her that her uninvited visits are not welcomed. She is just the type to do such a thing, so I tolerate a one-day visit from her for her to critique my parenting skills, complain about my children's behavior, gripe about my housekeeping, etc. She has destroyed both of my brothers' marriages, and I had to keep her away from mine in order that she did not do the same to my marriage. What a piece of work she is, and it took two years of therapy to finally understand that the mother I should have had never existed in her for me. Sometimes, you just need to walk away, lead your own life in a better manner than how your mother led hers, and keep the greatest distance between yourself and her as best as you can.

      yeah, the suitcase. That was a weird one! The gaslighting attack of the missing suitcase full of jewels and gems and gold.... It freaked me out badly. How did I survive such drama and attacks from her as a child?

      I look back now and have so many memories of being set up, framed by her lies, only to have my dad beat the crap out of me because she told him I was a bad child. I was always framed for something I never did. Just for her amusement.

      She picked up her need to abuse me like it was yesterday! Twenty years went by, I moved parents into my house. Then all hell breaks loose. What a wake up call.

        hmmm yeah my mother still does this as well, a few weeks ago an argument arised so she just came out with the idea that Id been raiding her drawers (I was looking in them earlier for tobacco, which I had told her about and she didn't mind) and snooping round her house to thieve things, and that shes going to tell everyone and im just a disrespectful little shit... it never happened, but that's gas lighting, its emotional abuse, I used to think when I was young I deserved this kinda thing, that it was normal, that id done wrong, but I hadn't.

        Don't ever let her trick you into questioning yourself.

    lol, not spewing hate. I'm "spewing" truth. It feels great.

    gypsysailor you're the one spewing hate. Judgmental and insulting. I shared this letter to let others know how I am dealing with my abuser. I'm divorcing myself from her.

    If I was experiencing this trauma and abuse from a spouse or from a boss, wouldn't I be allowed to set boundaries and leave?

    AGAIN: my question is Why does society tell me I must put up with my abusive, soul sucking mother? Just because she birthed me doesn't mean (especially as an adult) I can allow her to continue to abuse me and the relationships I have in my life.

      YES! this goes through my mind too every fuckin day, why do you have to show automatic respect to someone, without first considering their personality towards you simply because their your mother. my whole family talk to me like this, which makes things worse cause as I said before, they think its my fault. But no, ignore these people, their wrong and aren't thinking broadly about things, no one, no matter how young should have to respect anyone based on their age and place in your life. Its the same with teachers telling kids, respect your elders, I might be a cunt, but respect me anyway... that always used to get me thinking from a very young age, and the truth is, fuck those people, honestly age, job title, it means nothing, and it certainly doesn't entitle you to being respected by those younger than you, simply cause their younger than you. Respect generally, is given to some degree, but just on the grounds that you "should", is pure bullshit.

      Respect those you respect naturally, not those who force you to. you gotta wonder, why would any human want to force another to respect them anyway? what kind of thinking is that?

    What a huge waste of your energy and life. How can you get past this if you are always dwelling on it?
    I do believe you are going to make yourself sick (if you haven't already) spewing all this hate and bile around in your life.
    You could just move on and forget it all. Selective amnesia. Your life would probably improve and you'll find that not spending all your time hating will give you time to maybe love somebody.

      lol she sounds like she already loves someone considering she was talking about her boyfriend/husband.

      and the fact that she dwells on it most of the time is probably her mothers fault, for having such an adverse affect on her well being and how she felt. What you said is one way to blame the abused for being abused... which is backwards thinking, no offense.
