My mom seems to always be mad at me for something and today is no exception or so it would seem. My mom told me Bella my dog needed a shower today and I told her I had never given a dog a bath or shower for that matter and she said “you’ll be fine, just make sure not to burn her” well I tried giving her a shower and I had a hard time with it and yelled for help and my mom started yelling at me that the water was to cold and after mom reset the water we had no problem out of her and I kept apologizing and she kept yelling and then she took Bella and dried her off and told me as punishment I had to clean out the shower… I already was gonna do that though and she got mad that Bella who shook everywhere and when I apologized she said it’s what dogs do. I was very upset… I of course can’t cry in front of her or anything because she’s been known to think badly of that and i honestly think I’m not the only one who has bipolar in the family… I’m upset and ashamed and I’ll probably hear about this for a while… I always try and make her proud and I seem to always fail. In the end Bella isn’t mad at me and I’m really glad for that but my mom is mad at me as almost always
I’m sorry about that. It’s hard taking care of things like that. Your mom still loves you. It’s hard having bipolar. I’ve also been diagnosed with bipolar. It’s hard when you’re depressed to even do anything.
@flowers20 I’ve tried to get her to say that she loves me and she has only hugged me once since my stepdad passed on 10/27/2020 she hurts my feelings and honestly it seems she don’t get depressed it seems she gets mad and it’s usually aimed at me and no one else
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better.
Sounds like moving back in with your mother as an adult, married person wasn’t a great idea.
It has nothing to do with the dog.
I’ve taken people in before and given them a place to live.
Doesn’t take long to get real old.
Even if that person is a relative.
Your mom punished you??? Aren’t you a full grown woman?! I’d move out if I could
@flowers20 thanks
@Charles_Foster financially it was a good move not so sure about mentally though.
@LilyoftheValley her words not mine. I am. We honestly can’t afford it for a bit… We might later but we’ll see. She’s aggravating that’s for sure
Yeah, moving in with your parents (mother) always saves you money.
But if she’s freaking out on you for every little thing,
She’s getting tired of you being there.
Even having to pay more to move out,
I think you should.
You’d be giving your mom her home back and giving yourself a little independence.
Well, I hope you all can find ways to get along while you’re stuck there.
I’m sure she loves you or she wouldn’t allow you guys to live there.
Maybe she was feeling frustrated and overwhelmed today.
Living on your own is prohibitively expensive in lots of areas, mine included.
I mean living with someone isn’t a bad thing if they stay out of your hair. We rented a room out to a guy who stayed to himself and you could hardly tell he was there.
My mother couldn’t live with me when I was sick (she literally kicked me out because of my delusions) but now that I’m better she has no qualms about it, but I try to stay on a different level of the house and use headphones for my audio stuff.
I mean you were helping by washing the dog. It sounds like she’s upset about something else and it’s just coming out in the form of frustration.
Move out if you can. If you can’t work see if you can get on disability and get into public housing. You’re doing right by venting on this site, but see if you can get hooked up with a therapist.
The nice thing about being an adult is that you can ignore your parents (unless you still live with them).
