I am in a bit of an emotional bind at the moment, and when I get to this point, I usually tend to have suicidal thoughts.

I recently turned twenty years old. I have been verbally abused by my mother since I was sixteen. I live with her, but this is not due to choice. I have no other place to go, and I am currently unemployed due to the fact that my last employer up and fired me in July. My fiance may have found us a place to live, so I may be out of this situation very soon, but I don't know if I can gather up the strength to wait even that long.

I also have a one year old son, and she calls me these things in front of him; She even swears violently in front of him.

I don't know what triggers her to do it, but she is constantly calling me and my fourteen year old sister "bitches". She tells me I am a cruel, basically no good mother and constantly threatens to call child protective services on me. I am so scared she is going to end up doing it one day and they are going to take him away from me. I could not live without my son. He is my life. This type of thing happens every day, and I really feel as if all she wants for me is to be unhappy. Before my fiance and I got engaged, she used to tell me I was a slut and a whore. She also used to tell me that I was just a piece of ass to him...

I feel so worthless, unloved, like my life really isn't worth living. I feel that if I were dead, maybe she would be happy. I know it may sound selfish of me, but when you are constantly degraded, well, it is hard not to feel this way. I really don't know anymore. I just wish I had a job and a car, I need a way out.

It's hard living with an abusive person, and for years I thought that this was normal until I realized that none of my friends' mothers treated them like this growing up. I don't know what to do. There has to be a way out of this situation.

Well it looks liek things are pretty rough for you. Try looking at the situation positively. Your not living with your mother forever... so that means theres a definant end to your abuse right there. Espeically since your fiance might have a place for you. My suggestion to you is, go find a job, put yourself out there so you can get out as soon a possible. If you are suicidal... get help. Think about your son. Don't you want to be there for him? Don't you want to see him get married? If you died, he'd be left with your mother.. do you really want that for him? He needs you and loves you. If you must get out now... there are shelters out there for women. This would be temporary, but it would be untilyou got yourself off your feet with a stable job and a place. I'd suggest going to one of these if you can't live with yur mother. Maybe even living with another realitive.. or a sibling perhaps? Maybe even your fiance's parents or siblings homes? You are loved, you are loved by your fiance, your son, even your mother, your mother is just being a bitch for some reason that we both don't know about. If your comfortable with it, when she's in a good mood try asking her why she calls you those things. She probably won't call child services.. there is no reason that they would take your child away. I hope this helps in some way. Know that you are not alone, and that peope do care for you. I know this means nothign because i'm an online stranger, but i care for you. *huggles* and i hope you post back on VT saying you've made it outof that house and life is well. Stay well my friend. :)

You're right! Testing your patience and waiting for something to "develop" is not in your best interest right now.

You need to get "the hell out" of this environment - NOW!

Your daughter is being exposed to this "HATE" and Robert Frost once wrote: "A child lives what they learn." Is a "duplication" of this extraordinary HATE exhibited by your Mother...the way you want your child to eventually be?

Children (and we don't think this is possible) set to memory so many more things than we give them credit for. She'll ALWAYS remember her Grandmother "ranting -and- raving."

You - GO BEAT THE BUSHES!! Make something happen, and get her outta there - NOW!

Thank you very much for your responses. I appreciate it.

Hopefully our luck is abundant and we do get this place, it would be a big break through, and my life would be so much better. He treats me right, and he doesn't like the way my mother treats me at all. It has been hard going on with this for as long as I have. She really strips my self-esteem and her actions are probably the reason why I have issues with my self worth.

I believe my mother is bipolar, although she claims that she is not. It makes her very angry that we have even suggested this to her in the past. Sometimes she can be okay, but she can be downright evil, and we never know when she will snap, but it is at least every day.

Thank you so much for your help. I am definitely trying to find a job, it is just so hard in this economy, and I despise that fact, but the sooner I can leave this place, the better for my health and my son's.

I will keep you posted. x

I know how this feeling is, since I was 8 I moved between my mum and father and was raised in a broken home. I am 14 now and I find every day why I shouldn't commit suicide. It haunts me like a ghost that I can not see nor get rid of.
