[QUOTE]Originally posted by Destinee Carols: [QB] To be honest, this is partially a vent post because I'm not sure how receptive I am to advice on this matter. It's all a little complicated in my head right now, and stress over exams doesn't help. I live on campus at university, and I generally go home every weekend. The semester will end soon and I'll return home. I don't want to. My parents and I have never been close. Especially not my mother and I. And lately things have been going downhill. I don't doubt that the way I see her right now is rather biased, but to give a snap response if someone asked - she seems too sarcastic, lectures for hours on end, guilt trips me/us but tells us she isn't, and misinterprets things I/we say. I don't talk much anymore. I sit and listen to her talk at me for two hours and she'll say that she and my father don't know what I think anymore because I never tell them anything, and it's true, but anything I do say seems to be fuel for more longwindedness or something to take the wrong way and...then also go off on a long diatribe. To be honest I wouldn't call it verbal abuse. I know I personally misinterpret a lot of what she says. Sometimes it's unconscious. Sometimes I do it automatically, knowing it's wrong, but I want to believe it and so I do. I don't want to talk to her, much less have to see her daily, and I don't actually want to talk to anyone (besides my peers) about her. Because I don't want this problem to exist but I don't yet want to go through the process of fixing it. She's not a bad person. She means well. She loves me. But at this point I've trained myself to react with negativity towards anything related to her. An innocuous text? It is instantaneous criticism and I know that's my fault. I can't stand it when she texts me. And I will walk away from another entirely normal, innocuous scenario, annoyed with her to the point of tears, for no fathomable reason. /end rant Simlar stories? :S I'm sure that this will get better eventually. The more I mature and the more I come back to fix this. Just...not right now. I'm not there yet. And while I'm not there yet, just...asfjkds. [/QB][/QUOTE]
