I need advice.
Ok so this is the first time I'm talking about this because this has been happening too much lately (my dad is on a work vacation so he's not here to stop my mom from taking it too far). My mom is kind of an emotional wreck. Even tho she gets groceries and cleans up (and I appreciate that a lot btw) She's almost always is negative and verbally abusive. Especially in recent years. I'm kind of her emotional punching bag. My selfish 10 year old bratty sister always screams and cries at my mom and my moms always takes it out on me because she knows I won't cry or talk back. It's not that cool. My dad and my 3 year old sister aren't like my mom and my 10 year old sister because almost all of the time they are nice and sweet. I still love my mom when she isn't complaining or calling me hurtful things. But especially when my dad is away she takes it too far. My mom was born with depression so that might be why she does this. All my others friends moms seem really nice and always friendly but I can't imagine my mom being like that. She also stresses over things way too much. (The reason I'm writing this right now is because my mom just came back from my cirriculum night crying because she thinks I can't handle myself getting good grades on my own. Even tho it's the beginning of the school year and I have all A's and B's. Except for math in which I have a C but I've always been terrible at math and am trying to get better. But I can take care of myself just fine.)
Anyway, do any of you have advice for me or want to share stories similar to mine? It would probably make me feel a little bit better to know I'm not the only one who's mom is like this.
Thanks for reading.
