I think my mom might be emotionally abusing me. am i just overreacting? -

ok, so today i made some atole for myself because it sounded nice, but at the last minute I realized we were out of sugar. My mom offered to take me to the store, coughed up a five, and let me go in to pay. on the drive home, I brought up with my mother a job I could do, to earn more money. she said that all I do whenever I clean or work is complain and whine. That s not true. I brought up a time when she had asked me to rake our yard COVERED in leaves. it took me three hours, but the whole time I had my headphones in. I finished the book quot;The Boy in The Striped Pajamasquot;, and a bunch of music. I didn t tell her this, because I was sure she d remember. I guess she didn t. Then she said that it took me forever to go outside and actually do it. I was DOING LAUNDRY. I even told her that. I started crying (Like I said in another question, I m very sensitive) and she told me I was getting psycho over nothing. Then, I told her she was lying. I didn t know what else to say, but we were at home, so I opened the door and headed straight to my room to cry. she yelled back at me, there you go again, running off to your room. I can t stop crying. am I overreacting? she was in a fine mood - we were even discussing music before she took me. help is appreciated.|::::|I know sometimes peoples words can seem so cruel and unneccesary, but I m sure your mother soesn t mean it in a nasty way. I don t think she realises its getting to you this much. Sometimes you just feel like crying. After you ve had a good cry and have cooled down a bit, think it over. Was she really being that nasty? Or was it just a comment - she probably just sort of forgot or ddint realise. Dopn t take it so personally - but I know not being appreciated can make you really angry and hurt. Prove to her you can do it! She s only doubting you, in a funny way, to help you. She wouldn t want you stuck doing something you hate =) cheer up! If you think you can do it, go for it! Don t listen to the negative people on here =D Hope I helped a little and you re feeling better now : )|::::|Of course she s not emotionally abusing you! Your completly over reacting. Grow up and stop behaving like the pathetic little tween that you are, thinking that this is the worst thing ever. Just do the ******* house work without complaining. And why did you cry? Poor sensitive baby.|::::|i think you re overreacting. my mom says like actually hateful stuff to me. your mom just said that you complain about stuff and she exxaggerated. everyone exaggerates when theyre annoyed. my mom says stuff like im a b*tch and im fat and stuff like that.:[|::::|In my opinion, I don t think this example is emotional abuse. Sure, she could have chosen nicer words... and I hope i don t talk to my children like that. But I don t think its emotional abuse. |::::|Mom is not emotionally abusing you. You are right and you are overly sensitive whenever she doesn t agree with you. Just try taking a deep breath and settling down first.|::::|Please....would you like to trade places? Your mom s emotional abuse is like caring advice compared to mine. |::::|That s not abuse, lol. She just doesn t want her daughter to be such a wussy.|::::|I don t think that s abuse...it wasn t the nicest thing to say, but it wasnt abuse. :/|::::|i totally understand how u feel my mom is exactly the same way. we get in fights every single dayy and im sure she wishes she nevr had me anyways it may seem like emotional abuse, but it rlly isnt. ik it can be hurtful sometimes, but u ll just have to move on. try talking 2 ur mom.|::::|I know how you feel, but this isn t abuse. Abuse is when one or both of your parents are always hitting you, calling you f n stupid, never saying hi to you, not talking to you for 3 days, etc. Just tell your mom that your sorry, you love her, and you ll work hard not to whine and complain. I ve been in your position before, only a lot worse, but I just apologized and changed how I acted and now I m a much more happier person :D Hope this helps a little, good luck!!|::::|You re over reacting. I seem to get in situations like that quite often and I am as well a sensitive person. Sometimes you ve just got to realize that no matter how hard you try to help your parents and do well for them , and no matter how much time you spend or how ahrd you try to complete a job or chore, other people don t see it the same as the person who actually does the work. Like when someone says they raked the leaves, to me it seems like a pretty easy task, but when you are actually doing it its time comsuming and boring. Parents are generally crazy. and they seem to only remember what you do wrong instead of what you do right. so yo ve got to remind them. and stay calm. when i argue with my parents they always say im whining when im really just trying not to cry. |::::|umm thats not abuse...read what you wrote. sure, she was a little rude, but you didnt need to start crying. thats ridiculous.
