Please help me deal with these negative feelings and emotions that I get from my mother. It seems I cannot do anything right. She is constantly telling me what a horrible person I am. It is increasingly depressing, I try and not let her affect me, but she does.... my ex says that it is because I try so much for her approval (but I know that would be a Miracle)
Move out of your family home. It will tell her that she is being a horrible person she is towards you.
You had kids yet? It's because she thinks you will pretty much abandon her when you do. Which you will, well not completely, just Xmas and birthdays etc It's the way it's supposed to go
Which makes it even more bizarre, thought you were like 20 or something, so you've been putting up with this from your mum for decades? Here's a question. Why???
