in her daughters life is her fault and that she
needs to take responsibility for her
actions...but not everything is the daughters
fault . the mother places blame on the
daughter for things that are not her fault .

with her mother . the mother has been
extremely critical and verbally abusive for
years..she put her down for years.and of

Answers:

i really wish i knew what the answer is to that.

im 13 and my mom is verbally abusive (telling me i never should have been born, how i should justleave, and of course swearing, and lots of it)

she used to be physical abusive (red hand marks on my body, bruises on my butt and not being able to sit without crying.)


i tried to run away last night, but she heard me and flipped out



Make sure she knows that she has people that love her and want to support her, abuse is awful, no matter who it comes from, but in my opinion, family is the worst source of abuse because they are supposed to look after you and make you feel loved. As long as she knows people love her, that will be a huge help :) Hope she's ok :)



It seems like she's on the right path with getting help and more than anything, probably just needs support. In a case like this where the mom does not think she has a problem and therefore is continuing her behavior, it may be best for the daughter to forgive her and move on. She has to do what's best for her and while you don't have to like your moms behavior, she is still your mom. She will feel an inner peace in knowing she's doing the right thing and be able to move forward. Let her know she's loved and a beautiful person!
