Need to vent

I hate living with my mum but can't just up and move out or at least its not worth it.

Every time I try to get she just says Its not for me and that I won't get it and that I shouldn't apply for it. It makes me think about doing stuff that I can't mention because this post will get rejected but it if involves myself and the grim reaper.

She constantly criticisms and makes fun of what I wear, what food I eat even though she and my sister are the ones that buys my clothes not me so how they can mock my style/clothes I wear.

My mum is also a work shy benefit scrounger and she tried to get me to go on ESA when I had the flu for 2 months and barely looked after me. I was dizzy, had an eye and ear infections and couldn't see properly at times and even so and at night she'd ask me to go get her sugar and tobacco even though I couldn't see down the stairs.

She called me a retarded ******** when I told her I was getting bullied because it was the day after parents evening.

Oh and thanks to her negative, nasty and manipulative attitude and behavior I am partially racist, maybe even a bit sexist though weirdly enough I'm not homophobic but I am transphobic which I don't understand why but I just am.

I've been whittling away at my racism by becoming more open minded and I tried to be more positive but in reality the only way I become a better person is by moving out by I won't be moving out for uni until September/October next year and I just find it hard to not do anything bad to myself like getting drunk or doing drugs because I literally live underneath a drug dealer.

With all my problems, my wrecked teeth, disgusting personality I find it hard to become that ideal person I want to be. I want the personality of monk because they are so calm and peaceful and I want to be just like that but its nearly impossible when you live with someone so entitled and nasty.

End of rant and props to anyone who actually read of that.
I'm sorry to hear about your mum treating you poorly. No child deserves to be treated like that. You'll be able to eventually move out, though.

However, do not blame her for your personality. Yes, some people adopt bad behaviours because it is considered mundane by their parents but that does not at all justify it; in your case, the problem is made worse because you're basically saying "well, I'm a bit racist and a bit sexist but that's not my fault because my mum made me this way." This is not your mum's problem but your own. It is your own mindset. You don't need to persuade her for you to finally not be racist or sexist or whatever.

You can say "yeah, well I've been raised like it, blablabla," and use that as an excuse for your behaviour, but I know for a fact that how a mother treats their child does not entirely limit their own mindset. One of my friends has a mother who was an absolutely horrific mother to her and, likewise, was sexist and racist. She has turned out to be one of the sweetest and sympathetic people I know. Do not blame your mother for your personality.

This all aside, the only advice I can really offer you is to just tolerate what's happening, and once you're of age, you move out and start a new life without her.

Wish you all the best.

Maybe its time for you to do something spiritual then. Like explore Buddhism? You have to change your attitude so that you dont get so triggered by other people's bad behaviour. You will be at uni soon! You are too busy blaming others for your faults. How is your racism your Mum's fault when you actually know better than to actually be racist?
