I confronted her about some stuff from when my sister and I were younger.
Anyways, I should have just kept my mouth shut.
BUT also, she basically said to me today (for the 2nd time in my life) that I have a psychotic illness because I’m “weak minded”
Really??
Man, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I am glad not to be living at home with my parents anymore.
Another thing- my sister and I were also texting today about my mom and a memory I brought up was when I was severely depressed in high school that my mom/parents refused to take me to get help and my mom always said to me “just be happy”
Loooll sorry to hear about this issue but I think it’s a bit like telling a person with heart failure they’re weak hearted and should just stop having heart pain.
The only comfort is that while your parents messed up badly, you won’t be like that with your children if they are struggling. So yeah you suffered, but your kids will be protected and happy because they had someone who loved and accepted them while growing up.
When future generations ask how the west fell, I will say that it is because of mothers that cried because they could not handle a rebellion against their hold onto the child’s ego, which fed into their gratification or attention into their own twisted ego.
People are weak/strong minded because of the people around them, who influence their reflections onto reality. For example: If you are around mature people, then you act with maturity, and vice versa with immaturity.
The ‘weak minded’ statement may mean being reactive to confrontation. Which in turn is formed from past experiences, that led to negative outcomes.
This is just my ‘throw a pebble into the dark mist’ theory. More reflective of my own life experience, if anything.
Preciously ‘I made my mother cry’ by talking about my problems openly. I have come to the conclusion in life that weak mothers want weak children to feed their ego. The child becomes the sacrificial lamb.
Eh, wait until you get to the point where you don’t mind admitting in public that you’re actually glad your parent is dead because it saves a lot of grief. You get odd looks for it.
