My mom complains all of the time, all she cares about is herself. My grandma was in the hospital during our holiday and my mom was swearing and complaining that she had to take care of her mother. My father was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and my mom was swearing and yelling about how she never gets "me" time. She was talking like my dads illness was inconveniencing her.

I have adhd and ocd and am late for school nearly every morning. She screams at me and tells me that I will never get anywhere in life and how much of a loser I am. Whenever I have a health concern she dismisses it calling me a hypochondriac. It makes me afraid to be sick or ill. I do have many diagnosed illnesses. My brother also has add and he is forgetful, so she calls him stupid and dumbass etc frequently.

My Dad was wanting to get natural medication and my mom was yelling at him and swearing because she is more concerned with getting the bathroom redone. She is so cold it's unbelievable. She is brutally honest, always telling my brother that he should model and that his voice is so good he should become a singer. She never compliments me even when I've done something that would be nice to get a pat on the back for.

If you have seen the show two and a half men and know the mother Evelyn, that is exactly how I feel about my mom. I'm interested in learning mandarin chinese so I picked up some books from the library and she saw them on the table and started screaming at me that I have a final project due date coming up that I should work on instead. Like I said I have OCD so I refused to eat bean salad that used vinegar from the same vinegar container that supplied the vinegar to clean my dad's catheter bag.

After I said no thanks to the bean salad, my mom was essentially condemning me to get cancer saying "let's wait and see you get testicular cancer" or something. At this point I wasn't surprised but I was pushed over the edge. I yelled something out that I shouldn't have. Then she is saying how disgusted she is that I said that and how I'm not her son, blah blah blah. It seems she is always yelling and swearing at everybody, In the car this morning it hurt my ears she was screaming so loudly.

My mom said something extremely cold and mean to my dad and he responded with something pretty rude as well. The next thing she does is phone her mother and complain about how shitty her life is and tell everybody what my dad said to her, trying to gain support. Nobody knows what she is really like in the house, she hides it so well. In short, she's a sympathy whore.

Whenever I tried to get into art and showed my mom some work, she would go on about how I'll never be an artist like my brother and how the work wasn't very good. The best I ever got was a, "huh" and then she'd walk away.

This is a tiny tiny chunk of all the stuff she's done. She has complimented me before but on a very occasional, millennial basis. I have a few questions.

My adhd causes me to be tired all the time. How can I get up on time for school in the morning without feeling as tired? Going to bed earlier doesn't help.

How can I calm myself whenever my mom has an outburst, so I don't have to respond to her?

I'll be going to college hopefully next year, out of the house at least. Would it be wrong to essentially see her as little as possible? It's getting to a point where I can't stand her anymore.



Thanks for listening. I just hope dearly that all women aren't like this. Sorry if I offended anyone.

No one's making you hate women but yourself. No matter how bad your mother is, she doesn't represent half of the human species.

My adhd causes me to be tired all the time. How can I get up on time for school in the morning without feeling as tired? Going to bed earlier doesn't help. Ok, well, everyone is different when it comes to sleeping. Maybe try setting multiple alarm clocks in the morning or (what i have to do) try forcing yourself out of bed and then splash cold water in your face.

How can I calm myself whenever my mom has an outburst, so I don't have to respond to her? Whenever your mom has an outburst, just remember, when your gone, you wont have to deal with it. Also, think, if you respond to her, you will make it worse on yourself because she might get mad at what you respond to. And if you want, you could try complimenting her. Now i know you may be thinking, "I would never compliment her", but just think, if all she thinks about is herself, maybe a compliment would make her feel good and less mad. But thats for you to decide.

I'll be going to college hopefully next year, out of the house at least. Would it be wrong to essentially see her as little as possible? It's getting to a point where I can't stand her anymore. I wouldnt see why it would be wrong to see her as little as possible. If you feel like you're being stepped on by her, do what you feel. It's your mom and you can keep her or loose her.

Well, since going to bed earlier doesn't help, I would suggest staying away from sugars and caffeine beyond a certain time. As a rule of thumb, I don't drink or consume anything with a large amount of sugar or caffeine past 5:00 PM. Never make an exception to this, no matter how bad the temptation is. Getting up in the morning is never a fun thing to do. I would suggest forcing yourself out of bed. The moment you open your eyes, get out of bed, jump around, move quickly, splash cold water on your face. Anything that can get you active is highly recommended.

How can I calm myself whenever my mom has an outburst, so I don't have to respond to her?

If you can, get out of the house without her noticing. Go for a walk around your neighborhood or local area. If you have a dog, take them along for the walk for some company. You can call up some friends to see if they wanna hang out or if you can stay at their place for a while. Don't be afraid to just turn around and do what you can to relieve yourself of the stress she's causing you.

As much as you hate her, you can't cut her off like that. It's bad for both parties. Being out of the house is good, but don't take it too far. She's still your mother and you're still her child, no matter how much you despise it. Perhaps call her every few weeks, maybe email her. You can also call other members of the family to send your greetings to her if you don't want to talk to her directly.

The best advice I can offer to you now is that you just hang on. You'll be out of the house soon, meaning she'll be out of your hair. Try your best not to make a scene out of something she does, but try and focus on something else. I know you may thing this is how a lot of women are, but trust me, they aren't. I've had many good women in my life who have been completely the opposite of your mother. You just have to remember that.
