Family struggles
Tonight was very rough my family is so hard to be around they make me feel like I am Suffocating it is hard to be happy here sometimes for most of my life I’ve felt like I didn’t Belong here or like I had No one and that is the hardest thing to feel it makes my chest feel empty for the longest time I always dreamed of one day having my own family and having something to call my own to be able to be better then what I had to be comfortable knowing that I had Something to belong too I still Dream of that day to come most times my mom does not listen it goes from one ear out the other it seems like she simply does not care about anyone’s feelings she tries to keep up this “perfect family” but it’s all bs today I got So mad I was Shaking I’m not a person that normally gets mad I hate Being mad anyways I needed to rant cause it really is hard being with them I feel Like my life feels so barricaded because my mom is extremely overprotective and yes I understand There is bad things out there in the world but I feel Like I have Not been able to grow individually I feel Uncomfortable here like growing up is not apart of my agenda when the only thing I need is to be on my own and grow up without having my mom around I sometimes Want to run and run without looking back running makes me feel free in so many ways.
@affectionateHickory7151 heya, its alright. Your not alone. I never really felt like i belonged anywhere and i also have an over-protecting mother. Everything will eventually get better. If you need to talk, im here. I might not be a listener but i still can help!
I am the mom of a 17 year old boy (junior in high school) who hates me and is verbally abusive. I have been afraid to discipline him because he was treated for depression last year but he says he's better - no more therapist and no more drugs. However, the anger and hate is unbearable - it ruins your Home. If I could tell you this, your mom is probably really hurting too. She is confused that you changed from her baby to an almost adult. She is worried, wants to hold on and is maybe a bit Codependent, like me (all things that can be easily talked through with love), but a hug and talking to her with kindness will get you two to a place of trust and understanding.
