I used to think like you before but think about it, your mum have raised you up to what you are now. It takes a lot of effort to raise a child, do you know that? If she don't love you, she would have DUMP you when you were born. I would suggest that you tell her how you feel BUT in a nice and respect manner and see what she says.

GOD BLESS.

mother's can be strangely intense over the strangest things. best bet is to find a way away from her influence in her life as soon as you can. if are 18 then you are posed to do just that. job? military? but do not use marriage as an escape from home - that does not seem to do well even within a few years (as I have seen with my friends)!

My parents never understood my calling from God either. There is a time to start realizing that God is the parent who matters for the rest of your life.

First, its not at all true that a parent will 'dump' a child they don't want. There are plenty of people who have children that don't want them.
Next, yes, it is difficult to raise a child, but that is in no way any excuse for the behavior described.

I have a close friend whose mother made it clear she was not a wanted child. This friend of mine is now in her 40's and her mother still treats her badly. She has tried talking to her mom about the treatment she receives on numerous occasions, and even went as far as cutting her mother off completely. She didn't talk to her mother for years. When they finally did talk again, the mother learned nothing and right away started with the negative treatment.

Sounds to me like your mother is just mean and selfish. And Might Possibly suffer from a mental disorder. You could attempt to sit down and discuss this with her, though i have a feeling it won't bring any change. It may be that you need to move on with your life without her. Also start looking into getting some therapy to overcome the damage to your self esteem. I won't heal by itself.

let me share with you a NEWS not story happen here in kuala lumpur (capital of Malaysia) last week. A girl of 20 years old or so DUMPED her baby girl the moment she was born straight from her apartment on 2nd floor window into the street. She taught that in doing so, no one would see her but eventually she was caught and now in court being charged.

The reason is when the pregnancy became aware by her parent or relatives, her parent and her would be shamed because our society still could not accept getting pregnant out of wedlock.

in my opinion, how can you be mean and selfish to your own fresh and blood? You gave life to the child through God's grace.

Hey, Dreamgirl! I love your beautiful avatar! :)

Please try to ignore the hurtful things your mother says, even though it won't be easy. The poor woman sounds like she has some serious issues.....hopefully she has no idea how hurtful she's being.

Don't let your mom's behavior distract you from your relationship with The Lord.....keep looking to Jesus, and talk to Him about your troubles, and things will eventually improve. Hopefully you can be free from your Mother's negativity soon!

I'll pray for you. It would also be a good idea to ask Jesus to fill you with The Holy Spirit! Love, Nichole ♥

I never said, or implied that it never happens. But you made a blanket statement that every person that doesn't want a child will dump it. That is simply not true, as evidenced by my story about my friend. And many other stories i've heard. Look at all the child abuse going on around us. These are not loving parents who are happy to have their children. Just read 'A Child Called It'.

I'm sorry about your situation, dreamgirl. :( No one should have to take that much garbage from anyone, let alone from their own mother.

Are there any other relatives or trusted adults in your life who can be a positive influence for you?

Please don't lose sight of the beautiful person you really are. Don't let go of sanity or start believing any of her lies. Most parents try and do what's best for their child's well-being, but tearing someone down repeatedly does the opposite of that. And through her actions she has shown that she is not like most parents in that way.
Please remember that and do not accept that treatment as normal, because it's not. Stubbornly hold on to what's true, and go for the goals that are uniquely yours.
Give her a chance if she is trying to change. But until you see an effort on her part to treat you better, protect yourself as best you can, and try and emotionally distance yourself from the negativity.

Try and hang in there until you're independent enough to remove yourself from the situation.

*hugs*

You are 18, I suggest you look for a way to leave your mothers house. You are living under horrible conditions and its not right.

You're old enough, go find some friends to move into an apartment with. or go off to college. do SOMETHING. if you're in a city there are pleny of halfway houses that will help you for like a year and teach you to live on your own.

I think you're mom is pushing you away and shes only going to hurt you more being staying. its not like you're throwing her away. just becoming independant.

I'm sorry to hear. :(

During those times of verbal abuse, don't forget who you are in Christ. You are precious to Him. You are a child of God and you're never alone. So the times you feel like you have no one, remember you do. "For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in." Psalm 27:10
It sounds like your mother is a very broken person. Forgive, I know it's hard, but forgive and pray for her. Find support through a church family or a christian therapist. I will be praying. <3

Also, when I say forgive, I'm not saying you should accept her behavior. You are just to forgive her. I do think you should find a way to move out. I know some ladies at church open their homes to people, maybe you can ask around.
