Whether such relationships are normal?

So from what should I start? Maybe from that that I never told my mom that I love her nor she said that to me. I never hugged her or said any comforting words nor at the time she cried for some reason or to just express my feelings nor she did that to me. For real I never felt that I love her, sometimes I felt hate but not all the time. She is never proud of me or encourages me. When I get best grades at school she wouldn't really react she would just say 'Cool' and that's all.. then I started say that she doesn't react to it then she started to pat my head whenever I get good grades..but I don't like her touching me..ehh..I don't like her reactions, her behavior, the way she talks.. Sometimes it looks like she really doesn't like me but holds it in herself just cause I'm her daughter. One time when I was still little she slapped me to the face just because I accidentally bitten her finger when she was giving me a cookie. She looked so angry like the hate she holds suddenly exploded.She of course said sorry immediately but..still. That stuck in my mind so hard. I have once been into deep depression but got out of it by myself. I think I got in it because of her. She is quite pessimistic, not totally but.. and sometimes I feel like I was born in wrong family. I always want to think positively and no one in THIS family is thinking like that..that gave me a depression. I feel like if I would be in different family [more optimistic and encouraging one] I would be much more happier. So what do you think is this normal? such a feeling from me? and such a mom? does she hate me? and what should I think about myself ? do I hate her? I don't get it. I'm 18 so I'm not a stupid teenage girl with hormone storms anymore. oh I forgot to mention that I don't have a father. He left my mom when he got to know that she is pregnant. So is THIS normal? or my life is really f***ed up?

    Is your mom asian? Cuz this totally sounds like my mom when I was growing up!

    No seriously. Apparently she had a really bad childhood. So she never expressed love to me growing up cuz I guess she never knew what love was. I really hated her till I was 20 something. Then she finally pulled the stick out her ass and is pretty cool now. I'm in my mid 30's and to this day we have never said I loved you to each other. But we are like best friends. Hey whatever works

    It's perfectly normal for a human with dreams and ambitions to feel hatred toward the mistake they made with some douchebag dude that culminated in the birth of a self-absorbed, fiscally cataclysmic, life-draining human whom you're legally responsible for.

    Your mother wasn't ready to grow up. When you leave her house and leave her on her own, becoming your own person, she'll come around.

      Why does it matter? Knowing the place where I live will not change the situation that I'm in.

          • Hmm, that kind of narrows it down... I guess Albania.
            Only thing is I don't know much about Albanian culture.. :P

            Anyway, I feel as if I was born into the wrong family as well. I feel like my parents always trying to destroy the things I care about. They are ignorant, close minded bigots, every single one of them. Thier behaviour infuriates me.

            I also dont feel much love for my family, and I don't think our relationship can be repaired. What I plan to do is move out the first chance I get.
            I don't know if you will dot the same?
            But it seems like its the only way forward for me

              Yes I'm planing to do it too. Next year I'm finishing my school and going to continue my studies in university and there isn't any universities in my city so I'll definitely move out! even though it will be over like that I'm still kinda jealous for the kids that had a normal family and parents are like friends for them..

  • She did you wrong she made mistakes, try not to waste time worrying WHY cause there is no answer. she stuffed up but one thing she did right she hung around. she was there, that is something. think outside of your family now, mother gets smaller and smaller. daydream and plan from these dreams. your happiness does not rely on your mother any more, good luck to you
