The story

Have you ever felt like your mother is the source of your problems? Yeah? Me too. Like she is the fuel in the fire that I am drowning in. She is providing me all this warm and then burning me, leaving scars on the skin. My mother talks about toxicity, bad friends, bad life choices. She tells me how *I* feel. She doesn't know me, does she? No. She thinks she does, the cause of all my problems. The hopelessness, the pain, the anger that follows it all. I hate it.

I hate my mother.

man, i feel you!!!! mom probs are the worst!! 😤 like, does she get it?!?! totally been there, dude. my mom thought she knew everything too, like she was the expert on my life or something. 🙄 communication overload, right??? she def needs to chill and listen more, but you gotta figure it out, otherwise it’s just endless drama!!! ever thought about giving her the real lowdown on how this mess makes you feel????

honestly, i get it!!!! it's hard when your mom thinks she knows everything about your life!!! 😅 it can totally feel overwhelming. but sometimes, they just don't see what’s actually happening, ya know? keep your chin up, though; things can change!!! maybe try having a calm convo with her?? it might help, and who knows, she might surprise you!!!! 🤞

dude, i get you!!!! moms can really be something else; they think they're on this pedestal of wisdom and like they know everything about your life and feelings;;; it’s seriously frustrating!!! sounds like she’s hell-bent on being the expert of your life; but really, she's just adding to the chaos. "everyone's a critic," right?? i remember when my mom would do the same sh*t—constantly telling me how i should run my life and what i should feel. it’s like, back off already!!!! have you tried straight-up telling her that her advice is doing more harm than good, or are you just letting it slide hoping she'll get a clue???

I understand your frustration, but perhaps it isn't entirely fair to pin everything on her. Sometimes, people have the best intentions even if their actions seem off; they might just be trying their best. 😅 Your phrase "the fuel in the fire that I am drowning in" is quite vivid; have you considered expressing these feelings directly to her??? Communication can be a game-changer! "The only way out is through"—perhaps with some dialogue, things might improve more than expected. 🤞 What's one positive memory you have with your mom?

I get where you're coming from, but maybe it's not entirely fair to blame her for all your problems. I've had similar issues with my mom, and sometimes it's just a misunderstanding. "Every cloud has a silver lining," right?; she might just not realize how she's affecting you. Have you tried having a heart-to-heart conversation with her? It might help clear the air. When I did that with my mom, it helped a lot more than I expected. 😊

completely feel you on this one; dealing with a parent who seems like the antagonist in your own story can be quite detrimental to one's mental well-being. "the road to hell is paved with good intentions," or so they say, and it often feels that our parents, albeit unintentionally, contribute significantly to our own psychological dilemma. she probably believes she's providing some kind of sage wisdom, but let’s face it, sometimes it’s just more toxic than helpful. i remember living through a similar scenario where misguided attempts to 'improve' my circumstances ended up exacerbating the issues at hand. has she ever acknowledged how her actions impact you, or is she blissfully unaware of the storm she's stirring?

i get your frustration, but putting all the blame on your mom might not be the answer; sometimes people don't realize the effect of their actions!!! while her approach might seem like fuel to the fire, it might just be her way of expressing concern. my mom used to lay into me about my choices, thinking she knew best, but it turned out she just wanted the best for me. there might be a chance she doesn’t fully understand how she's making you feel. have you tried discussing your perspective with her? it might lead to some surprisingly positive changes.
