i have been very cold to my mother for 3 years now and i just confronted her about all the abuse she would do to me as i was growing up, i told her how painful it was to hear her threaten suicide on my account and beat me for no reason. however, most the time she acts very nicely and loves me enough to stand against my oppresive father and make changes in my life he wouldnt allow. however, when i confronted her she claimed she couldnt remember doing any of those abusive acts and said she was sorry if she had but i felt her claim that she had no recollection of doing so was a lie and the tears were part of her manipulation because when i refused to believe her her sadness turned quickly into anger which she displayed in her face, and when i told her to seek a doctor for possible bipolarism she asked if i wanted to get her arrested because in america they take you to jail for this, her apologies seemed so ungenuine as if she were appeasing a child of acts that she described as, “small slip ups” or “any could have mistakenly done”. later she would try to hug and console me whilst making a kissy noise and talking babyishly like im some sort of ******* puppy she scolded for shitting on her carpet to which i’d smack her hand away and not respond. i feel she’s in the wrong but am confused,is she truly a good mother with no control over her rage, or is she lying and her nice side is part of the manipulation? i felt guilt after wards when i thought of the time i was 3 and we were in the park together,and i could tell that at that moment she was just as naive as i was at that young age, too naive to raise a child.
Even if she has no control, I’d say she’s being a bad mother. She’s in the wrong, and she owes it to you and herself to see a doctor. saying it’s just “small slips ups” is just absolute bull.
I’m sorry for your situation.
your mom needs helps, maybe all she was showing you are genuine care and anger but was all confuse of what it is for you, she might have something inside her that she can’t blurt out or release.. if you feel that your mom was just as naive as you those times, you might be right and that your mom is having some psychiatric disorders that can be corrected if taken care of immediately.. seeks out for help.. good luck
If your mother beats you or used to beat you, then that’s child abuse and the statue of limitations is 5 years. So you could get a lawyer if it continues to go on. I love my parents but when ever they got angry i would warn them about child abuse and they wouldnt hit me. They go help with their anger problems. Get your mother a doctor, (therapist) because if she doesnt then getting a lawyer wont sound as sinfull as it is.
if im 18 now wouldnt the only way she could goto jail is if i charge her? i mean she’s scared of seeing a doc b/c she thinks she’ll go to jail.
Sounds to me like your mothers got issues. I’m sure she loves you. Is she from a different country by chance? My parents were immigrants and they were also VERY naive and I was sexually abused very badly because of that.
If I were you, I would do my best to move on, seek therapy yourself and if you’re still in your parents house, get out. You don’t need to be there. It’s time to spread your wings
