The Student Room Group

Promised love?


i have always had this problem, since i was very small, i have a 15 year gap with my brother who is know 29, he always tells me that when i was born my mum wasnt happy with having me, he said that one day when he went to meet her at the hospital she said to him that she wanted to chuck me out of the window, when i asked my mum about this she just smiled and walked off.
In the family i have always been treated as this girl with no feelings, when i do try to express my opinion they call me a brat and how they could not even have the courage to say that to there parents, my mum says i'm like other teenagers and then compares me with her friends kids and points out how nice and respectful they are, i've always tryed my best to make her happy, i get good results in my studys and i help with the cooking and clean around the house, but its not good enough
i wrote this thread hoping that people will help me deal with her

Shoot her in the head, thats what I did with mine. (joke)

But seriously, who cares? When my parents act like that, i.e. if I say anything I get called gobby and I have an attitude problem, I just think if it was someone off the street would it bother me much?

Some people are just ********s.

Well, i guess keep up the good work on your studies, and then get yourself a decent job and get the shizzle out of there. My advice would be either
a) Try talking to your mum about it
b) Keeping shtum, don't let her think she is getting to you

Hope that helps

Very. It does seem harsh, how realistic does option b) sound?

I agree with the above, get out of that crummy situation and find people who do love you. Friends are the new family anyhow.

Damn straight 'twas not your fault, don't really understand the 'hay girl' bit, but anyway, do try and keep focused on other, more important matters, only another 4ish years until you're off to uni, then you're outta there!

Are your parents a lot older than the parents of your peers?

Write her a letter detailing all your feelings and make sure she reads it all the way through before she talks to you again.
If she won't read it or still doesn't make an attempt to change afterwards then she must be a pretty crappy mum. I feel bad for you but I do believe that all people can change if they want to.

7/8 years really isnt that much

ya your rit its not much, but i didnt get how the age of my parents would effect my relationship with my mum?

i feel genuinely bad for you, thats terrible to "smile and walked away" is just truly aweful.
I would say sod how its going to refelect on them, simply leave and make sure everyone knows why your going. It will sever all ties especially once those in your culture realise just how bad she really is. To destroy her in society is probably the best way to get her back.
You need to be strong anon and get out of there as soon as you can its not healthy for you

yeah, sorry, just had the idea there that 'cause your brother's a lot older, they must be pretty old and therefore more in the age bracket of grandparents, hence maybe different attitudes and possibly a difficulty in relating to you young 'uns.
