parents being assholes
The story
im 14 years old, and a queer with mental health issues and my mom doesn't understand that. im so done with her she keeps telling/calling me these annoying things, like she keeps telling me im boring, have no sense of humor, dramatic, no fun , etc and when I snap and say im not like that or that I have a different personality depending on who im with, suddenly im being a bitch. It’s so annoying cuz she calls me all these things and expects me to be ok with it and it’s so goddamn rude. At this point idk what I actually am like cuz she’s constantly telling me what im a terrible and boring wimp. She acts like she knows everything about me, then when I say she doesn’t know me at all (cuz she hardly does) she gets mad I just wanna tell her im gay but she always makes fun of the first time I came out and it just ugh. It’s so annoying and today I was talking about pjo and she laughed cut me off and was like “omg it’s always Percy jackson with you! Its like your only personality trait” like ik I talk about Percy jackson hoe its my fav/main fandom no shit I talk about it a lot. Then she gets upset when I set boundaries like im sorry I dont enjoy being told im a weird dumb nerd who cant do anything right, ik I am a nerd and I am weird but I dont wanna hear about that 24 fucking 7. I also hate it when she interrupts me and constantly tell her I hate it when she does that, but she never listens or learns, I get it she had a bad childhood and was treated badly by her mom but just cuz I vaguely act like her doesn't mean you can lass out at me you TEENAGE KID. I get it I make mistakes a lot and have a hard time with stuff and shit but goddamn I dont need a life fuckimg lecture about your fucking childhood and how im so lucky cuz I dont get beat, like ho im your kid and saying "your lucky cuz I dont hit you" is fucking crazy

wow, that sounds really tough to deal with 😕 it’s challenging when a parent doesn’t understand or respect your individuality; do you think there's any way she might actually listen if you tried explaining how all this makes you feel, especially about being interrupted or having your interests dismissed? maybe finding a calm moment to talk could help; it’s worth a try! hang in there—you’re not alone and you'll find better ways to share who you truly are 🌈
It sounds incredibly frustrating to feel like your own mother doesn't understand or appreciate who you are, particularly when it comes to your interests and identity. Navigating this kind of relationship can be difficult, especially as you're finding yourself amidst all these complexities. Perhaps emphasizing how certain behaviors affect you emotionally might open up a new dialogue with her; sometimes seeing things from an emotional perspective can foster empathy and understanding in unexpected ways 😊.
why do you even bother with her??? it sounds like she's just projecting her own issues onto you without any consideration for your feelings; maybe it's time to stop expecting understanding from someone who’s so dismissive and focus on finding support elsewhere??? not everyone deserves to know everything about you, especially if they can't respect it; ever thought of saving your energy for people who actually care??!!
