Hi Lexicohen,
I am so sorry for what you are going through. I am sorry that your mom is being mean to you and saying hurtful things. But as Emily said, she is probably stressed over her situation. Plus we always tend to hurt the ones that we love. This could be the situation here.
My mother and I didn't get along, she was very jealous of me. And that really hurt, because we tend to look up to our moms and having hateful things coming out of her mouth really threw me for a loop. And it was something I didn't understand at the time. Plus being she was an authority figure to me, it was hard to comprehend for me.
Maybe if you sit down and talk to her and tell her how you feel, things might change. That might be a good idea for you to do. Also praying for her might help. If you have faith in that. But I would let her know that she is hurting you.
Oh by the way, welcome to the forum. You have really come to a good place where everybody is kind and compassionate. We are here to support you through this. I am so glad that you posted.
With that being said, I hope that you have a good day my friend. Keep posting and let us know what is going on.
Best wishes to you.
Hugs, Karen
