Oh Mother...

Damon, great post. Karma to you.

My father was emotionally abusive to me all my life. I haven't spoken to him nor allowed him to know where I am since 1994. I had finally just had enough of trying to please him. Even my sister cut him off and she was his favorite.

My boyfriend's mom verbally & emotionally abused him all his life, and still does. He rarely sees her & only calls her by her given name, not mom.

You really need to let your mom how it makes you feel, otherwise you (and/or she) will find yourselves with no relationship later.

 

well still waiting for a time to speak to my mom; hopefully it works out. now that i think about it its as if God is just making me endure a big test of patience; weird how religion just came into the picture lol

 

PLEASE GUYS... IMO her mom is just being a mom.. IDK about you guys but My parents would and WILL, give me a wooping with what ever they can reach if I do something stupid.

Dont get me wrong, but unless his mom is hitting him everyday to the point where he has marks all over his body more than once a week, then it really isnt abuse.... again IMO...

I come from a mexican family, i honestly dont think i can count the different things my mom has used to hit me with when im being a brat.. but lets mention some..
Hand, branch, water hose ( wet so it hurts more).. belt, My dads belt with little stones in it, coat hanger.. did i mention one time she got so mad and could not find anything to hit me with so she took her shoe and threw at me LOL..
Yes, i did get some bruices now and then but come on...
honestly i deserved it most of the time, and even though i will get pissed off at the moment I could not remain mad for a long time. I love my mother, she is the best, and i would honestly rather have a mother that will bit me half to death to prevent me from doing something stupid than just let me do it.( even though i get pretty mad most of the time when she does something like that)... IMO, kids are getting too much "power" i should say.. sometimes they cant be diciplined the way they should be because people tell them to call the Gov on their parents and thats not right. I agree that sometimes parents do abuse, but to my understanding whats going on here it isnt abuse at all. again.. all IMO..

Again, if this was a case or REAL violence then by all means call the number..

 

well calling me an idiot everyday doesnt sound right...

 

honestly.. calling someone an idiot is not reason enough to call the cops on your mother is it?

My dad has called me things i cant really write in this forum for obvious reasons fairly often. and you dont see me calling the cops on him, thats just how he is and we have learned to cope with him and we love him dearly. ( he has never really hit me, thats my mom's job lol but he does swear to the top of his lungs when he is pissed. that makes him scary as heck LOL)..

That was and is not abuse worth calling/ getting your parents in trouble.. at all... at least on my opinion...
my dad can call me stupid all he wants, and i would still not do something against him. All my family, sisters and brothers ( 8 of us) have gotten a piece of him LOL and we still would not change him for any other dad in the world.
The way that i was raised is that you respect your parents no mater what they tell you.They are older then you, they are wiser then you, and you are still under age so they OWN you LOL jk.. You may swear all you want in your mind and be as mad as you want but you bite your tongue and just let them be. Like i said, unless they BEAT you.. and i dont mean a spanking or something of the sort.. then anything else is not abuse. again IMO..

 

ugh why do you think i would call the cops? well when i think about beating she actually had bruised my sister... when she's pissed off its freaken insane...

 

Because, the way you speak it sounds as if you wanted to.. sorry if i missunderstood you.

Just because she bruised her it doesnt mean it is abuse. Again, My mom would hit me so hard i would get the shoe mark on my butt for a week lol.I still think i deserved every single spanking i got. that made me think twice before i did something bad. lol MY MOM ALWAYS KNOWS... lol i think she paid someone to spy on me so she knows when i did something xD

i just think you took this way out of proporsion.. its just part of life.. Just say sorry, if she spanks you she spanks you and move on and try not to do it again. thats all you can do. again, this doesnt sound like actual abuse to me. But it is ok to vent. More than welcome to do it whenever you need.
better than talking back to her or something.. You earn more respect by venting here than by talking back.
