She wants me dead.

Sorry, I just needed to vent out my frustration and anger here. Well, she did it again. I was crying hard a while ago. Mother scolded me because I told her to stop talking about other people. She went inside and shouted at me. She said I'm getting on her nerve already when in fact I only told her to stop talking about other people because it is not nice to spread rumors. And that I should mind my own. My Brothers even told her about not spreading rumors to anyone because it is not a nice thing. But she still does it. I get mad and backfired on her. She is so mean to me and said how I wish I was dead.

I am sure she said that in a fit of anger and does not really mean it. Our elders do not appreciate being told what to do by the younger generations. I had someone who was older than me and would do the complete opposite of whatever you advised. I learned to tell the opposite of what I wanted so that I would get what I actually wanted. I am sorry she made you cry and I hope that she apologizes. You and your brothers are right, it is not nice to speak about other people. One day she may say something about another person to someone and it backfire on her.

Not my own Mother, Amber. She is bad and irresponsible Mother. I already wrote my disappointment here about her. She is a very good liar, she will lure us her own daughter and sons to get something from someone.

@JustBhem Oh I was a little confused because I didn't think you were talking about your own mother. Even so it's really horrible that she does this.

@ScribbledAdNauseum She is my own Mother and yet she hated me ever since. That is why we didn't get along. When I was 16 she gave me to my Father's Aunt because she does not like me telling her not to go home in the morning. She even got pregnant while my Father was in prison. Then she doesn't care about my siblings too, I don't have siblings who are graduate of any level because of her selfishness.

Oh, honey. She didn't want to make you feel badly. Some people just cannot take criticism, and they fire back out of defensiveness. The problem lies with her, not you.

@JustBhem She must have mental problems. If all of her children feel that way and get treated so poorly she must have a personality issue. Or do you think she is just mean?

Is it your home or your mother's home? If it is your home you can ask your mother to leave. It is your mother's home you could leave. Your mother could say or do whatever she wants in her own home. It is very difficult to live with parents once you are an adult. ( I am assuming you are an adult) Parents always assume the role of parents and believe you are still a child when you still live at home and they treat you as such.

@JustBhem I am also from a culture where children are expected to live with parents until they are married, but there is no law saying you must and I have many friends from your country. No one has to put up with being abused but I sympathise with your situation and I could understand why you cant leave. I hope you can find a way to work it out. It is a very sad situation to be in.

This is our home, my Father's home. Does she still have the right? Besides I am not married yet. We have our own differences when it comes to a Family. Here in our country, you can still live with your parents as long as you share the expenses. And also if you have a daughter who is still single not married, she can live in the same house as long as you want. I planned to leave but I am sick, I'm on Dialysis and I have a boyfriend who's been supporting me. But we have a lot of debt to take care first before leaving here.

I just want her to do good to people even if not for us. Because she is getting old and wearing the same attitude. She really to gossip and talks to people behind their back even with us, her own children. Do you think we need to tolerate it?

@JustBhem no need to tolerate her but if telling her what to do and what is not means nothing to her and would be the start of your argue just dont mind her. let it be. as long as you do what you have to do. if she still did not understand you the problem is with her and not with you. i think in the first place she is not a good mother to you.

From what you have said about your mother, the best thing you can do is not to argue with her. Her temper will hurt you too much if you do.

I know that when we are angry we tend to say words that are so mean. But my Mother always does say bad words almost every day. I don't know. Maybe because she was young when she has a Family and she is not yet ready.

Again, I am sorry to hear about this. You and your siblings situation is hard with her around. Parents does not want their children to tell them what to do. Well, not all. There are really some stubborn minds. I am sure what she said was half meant but it os hard to hear it from your own mother. Knowing that you are already sick and all, those were the last words you want to hear. But I believe you have a purpose. God gave you the chance to live to do that mission. And maybe your mission is your mom. What I can say right now is maybe do not meddle with her so much so you will mot have the negative vibes in you. You need to be calm so you can stay positive and focus on yourself. You have to be strong for your own good. Pray more for youself and pray for your mom. She needs it more.

Hi Bhem You should not allow yourself to feel like you want to die. You are a very compassionate person, your mother should not make you feel so bad. Parents sometimes forget that their actions effect their children. You voiced your opinion to her behavior. There is nothing wrong with that. I would suggest that you find a place to go to when your mother's actions upset you. You stay the caring, loving person you are. I would be proud to have a daughter like you!
