I’m so sorry for what your mother did to you as a child. And I’m happy for you to have overcome that.
As for my mother, she is the worst human being I’ve ever seen in my whole life. Though my father abused me physically, he has a level of maturity and it is possible to have a conversation with him. My mother considers herself as a queen and demands others to serve her. Basically, she considers all the people around her as objects and not real human beings. She puts up a ‘I’m the wisest person on this Earth’ kind of behavior when in the presence of outsiders, but her true colours come out at home. She always accuses me verbally and to the extreme. The curse words which she uses are not used by most of the people. I can’t even count the number of times I heard the words ‘You are worthless, not fit for anything’, from her mouth. She cursed me many times to fall under a bus and die. Can you imagine a mother wanting her child to die a ruthless death? But, well they do exist like my mother. She always balmes others for all the things happening in her life. Always compares her children with others and no matter how much someone serves her it’s not enough. She badmouths and critisizes about everyone in my family to outsiders. She has abnormal jealousy and attention seeking issues and cannot digest to see me happy. She is the type of person who says,’ Because I suffered, even you should suffer’ even if it is her own daughter. Generally, normal mother would want that their children not to go through any suffering and wish for them to be happy. But my mother has no human empathy even for her own daughter. People in my family know very well about her sickening behaviour, so we avoid her as much as we can.
When I was a kid she used to abuse me physically, but now she doesn’t, because she knows I am more stronger than her and I will never tolerate her laying her dirty hands on me. There were times when she kicked me in my stomach during my periods. There are many more worse stories about her, but in short she is someone who has a mental disorder and is a severe pain to others around her. I personally feel that such people should not be allowed to have children, as they make their life a living hell. The only feeling I have towards her is disgust. She was never a priority in my life and I hope after few months, she becomes a passing cloud.
