a thread on why i dislike my mom:

1. religion

she’s that type of christian. i am literally not allowed to try to practice any other religion. she also says hers is the only right one and doesn’t respect other religions but hers has to be respected. used to get “disciplined” when i didn’t want 2 be involved

2. her “discipline”

in hispanic households being hit is normalized. i used to let her beat me when i was younger but i don’t anymore. i don’t hit her nor have i ever tried to. but when she tries to hit me i’ll take away the object OR try to pin her hands down. she called (1/2)

disrespectful + told some people i tried to hit her. once again, i didn’t. when she discipline us she doesn’t know when to stop. she’s broken spoons, wires, etc. + she threatens to make our mouths bleed by punching us.

3. machismo

because i am the oldest female she makes me do all the chores. there’s a lot of kid’s in my house so whenever i clean the house ends up a mess all over again. she yells at me for not cleaning. i am the oldest female but not the oldest. my brother is 18. (1/2)

but i always have to do the chores + take care of my younger sisters. when the house is a mess i take the fall and end up getting yelled at.

4. her pride

my mom will never admit she’s wrong. in her mind she is always right. i’ve called her out for her cussing and insulting us. she said i made it all up and that’s why i go to therapy. she threatens to hit me when i bring it up and calls me a liar. she also told (1/2)

my dad that i told her to leave the house (true, she’s always threatening to abandon us and says she wishes she would’ve left instead of my dad) without telling him what she told me. i

5. arguments

she never lets the argument go. when we argue she insults me and blames everyone for my issues but herself. i’ve gotten into countless arguments with her and when my dad left, it got worse. she argues with my older brother a lot too.

6. homophobic, etc.

.. she’s christian. it’s self explanatory. she finds the lgbt+ disgusting and will openly judge them

7. what she says:

- she once told me that i deserve a husband who beats me and i better not go crying to her when he does.
- told me she could care less about my mental health + only takes me to therapy cus of school
- tells everyone i never clean and have a nasty attitude (1/3)

- threatened to tell my bf a bunch of lies so that he would either beat me or break up with me
- tells me how i make her want to abandon us
- says i always play victim when she’s the one who does it. (my therapists have noticed)
- once threatened to have my siblings (2/3)

translate to my bfs mom about how terrible i am.
- and so much more

anyway end of thread
