I know the title is harsh but it’s the truth and pretty straightforward. She’s not always a bitch, which is why I can say I love her but sometimes when she’s stressed it’s like a unanimous vote collectively agreed I am the punching bag for her misfortune.

Seriously. I’ll just be checking on her and suddenly she’s rude, disrespectful and lowkey aggressive. For example, when I ask her question about something she’d normally tell me an answer or explain it for me. Simple right? Well when she’s stressed, she insults my intelligence and says it’s common sense.

I then say, why is it so hard to just tell me without feeling the need to put me down? She gets mad at me and tries to justify her rude behavior. The aggressive part is when she puts her hands on me. I don’t think it’s abuse but idk what would be abuse tbh

so if I say something that she considers disrespectful she’ll tell me to come here and when I do she grabs my arm and pull me towards her. My mom is heavy handed so that shit hurts and when I tell her to stop that hurts you’re bruising me and my skin is red (because I’m light skin so I get red a lot easier than my mom) she just says that I’m not and completely ignores me.

At that point I wanted to cry but then she’ll just call me sensitive, smack her lips and let me go. Then when I try to leave, she’ll say “oh now you wanna a leave cus you didn’t get what you wanted.” It’s so weird and bizarre because my mother does NOT act like that yet when she’s stressed she’s a different person.

I’m totally aware how sensitive and empathic I am. But that doesn’t give anyone the encouragement and leverage to treat me like that. Especially my own mother. I know I feel things a lot more than people but I use that to distinct how I perceive people and what they mean to me. And that? well that is shitty behavior that I hate experiencing.
