loaded the dishwasher with her dishes she left in the sink and ran it and wiped the counters. yesterday i helped her clean the floors and spent the rest of the day cleaning my room like shes been begging me to i feel like i have been doing a lot to help around the house especially in the last 24 hours. but instead of any recognition of that or even a neutral observance, she is somehow cracking down EVEN MORE because of it

shes refusing to pick me up groceries. she’s throwing the chores at me in a rude way. like not just asking me to do it but saying it sassily while on the phone with her friend and giggling about it. i feel like cinderella bruh. not from the work load but from her appeasement in watching me do it while she sits there

and she said smth rude and it broke me and i started crying and shes like “why are you crying why are you crying”. and then instead of saying anything comforting or even NEUTRAL. she says (while im in tears) “so when are you gonna get a job?” i told her i applied to two places a couple days ago and was waiting to hear back. again i said this thru tears. her response? “apply to more”. i ran out of the room sobbing. she didnt follow me or anything. i can hear her audibly cackling on the phone rn

like she’s always been so cold. so uncomforting. i have never once run to her for support or comfort in anything. i hid my first period from her, my first kiss and my first heart break. i went thru my parents divorce all alone because any time i tried to reach out to her i just felt worse. i dont know if i love her honestly. i dont love her any more than i love anyone else that’s been in my life a while. i get no positive feelings out of her presence. i dont feel anything a daughter should feel

with her mother. its alway been so weird with us. she never played with me growing up even tho she didnt work and had plenty of time (im an only child). i would beg and beg and she’d always say no. she blames our flawed relationship on me and tries to force me to go to therapy. every couple of months she threatens to kick me out of the house if i dont go. im in college 20 mins from the house so she knows i cant leave. im not depressed and iv actually been getting my life together hella good

recently. im the healthiest physically and mentally ive ever been in my life. a couple years ago i was super depressed. i wont get into it all but it was really bad, but i didnt live at home so there was no talk of me going to therapy. not until there was something she thought she could gain from it. im just so tired of feeling this way about my MOTHER. like thats supposed to be my rock and yet it’s always felt more like the wave i have to be strong enough to deal with. she doesnt do any of the

stereotypical bad parent things like drinking or physical abuse. she doesnt even yell all that loud and scary. its the emotional instability and coldness that gets me

bruh she just came in my room and started talking about her plans for tn while tears are visibly still falling from my eyes. like ik i look a mess and i cant even hide it but she says nothing abt it and keeps yapping about nothing that concerns me. it feels evil honestly. ik its probably absent minded but god it feels so sinister
