Lol I thought the responses would be a lot more negative :p:

She just uses people, including myself - emotional blackmail for what she went through with my dad (which part of it was her fault, she just can't realise it).

Poor you. I had a "friend" like that but not because she had some ruck with her husband.:eek: Gosh, much too young.:p: I expect that based on past experiences with this "friend", your mum is just trying to boost her own self-esteem by bringing others down into depressing situations so that she's not the only one. It didn't work with my "friends" but maybe you could try talking about it with her. Because maybe she hasn't realised what's she's doing..Just try to make it clear that families are there to support each other and that if she needs anything within reason, you'll be there for her, if she brings it to you upfront. Though try to do this without sounding too confrontational. So show that you do care even if she's really annoying. It might be in her mind her way of coping, though shifting the blame and bad feelings on someone else is actually avoiding coping. Don't be mad at me for saying this please!

Are your parents divorced then? How do you fell about this? ^o) Sorry if that's way to nosy, you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

Oh, so you expected my response to be more negative did you?:p: Like: You sound so immature and as if you only care about yourself? :p: I couldn't really say anything like this because I feel that it's unfair to prejudice against things and situations, which I don't know all the facts and feelings involved about. You might get some negativity from other posters, but atm you wont be getting any from me.
If your in your teens then it is very common to feel this way. Many young people go through times when they just can't get on with people. You may not notice it but you are probably extra moody around her and this may provoke her behaviour that you so hate.
If this is not the case then try and talk to her about it. Maybe she isn't feeling too good lately and needs support. Has she had a rough time recently? You'll find it amazing how far a proper talk will get you.:smile:
Hate is a pretty strong word though. You can love your mum and still thoroughly dislike her :biggrin:
All mums can be annoying from time to time
it is natural to have feelings like that forward to ur parents...I did too, but now after some time, I realise that my mom is the best, and she was giving up evrth just for me, and that no one else in the world loves me and will love me like she does. U will get it too some day. give ur mom rest, she is trying hard probbaly...and if she doiest let u do smth it is not coz she wants u to be unhappy, but the opposite and she is taking care about u, and tryes to protect you...

I'm with you- I hate my mum like hell, pretty much always have. She's a crap parent + has screwed up me, my sisters + my dad! Grr she's so manipulative, judgemental and selfish 2! I'm not always this mean- I don't hate anyone else, don't hold grudges + most people who understand how she acts agree
I do too. She's got mental problems but won't face up to them and so I get depressed about it and I know I should be more compassionate but after 17 years it kind of gets a bit frustrating. SO NO WORRIES.

I could have written exactly what you put. Weird. It's like reading my own situation.
