I’m pretty sure my mother is emotionally abusive. But I’m doubtful too. When I tell stories I get mixed reactions. Some people tell me I need to leave, that I’ve been abused too long. A few people say I’m being over dramatic. I think she’s trying to change, but I can never forgive her. She’s been kicking me out since I was young, then taking me back in under the condition I do whatever makes her happy. She’s told me to kill myself twice. I attempted the first time. Growing up she told me that if I called the police to tell them I was being emotionally abused, that they would call her an angel for putting up with me, because I was a horrible child. I was probably around 11 or 12 the first time she called me a selfish b****. It goes on and on, but she made me feel like I deserved it. Part of me still does. Was that okay? She doesn’t even remember half the things she’s said or done. She’ll fight me about wether it even happened. I’m 23, am I just being ungrateful. She does let me live in her house, and she buys me food most of the time.
