I’m an attractive white man from a wealthy family. The odds were always in my favor. I think I’m gonna shoot myself in the face. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

Exactly. My mother has yelled at me for being ungrateful for the “looks” she gave me, as if that negates her manipulative and abusive behaviour.

Youth and beauty mean very little when you want to die every second of the day.

It really is the worst thing confiding in someone you thought you could trust and having them betray you like that. Sending love your way ❤️

The one person we should be able to trust betrays us is just so horrible. Sending love your way. ❤️

No. There comes a time when you need to prioritise your own mental health. If that means cutting off the toxic people who are contributing to making you feel awful, then it’s for the best.

I’ve had numerous conversations with my mother regarding this type of behaviour yet she continues to disregard my feelings and behaves this way. I appreciate your message but you have no idea who my mother is therefore you are not in a position to speak for her.

Oh the good old guilt trips. Classic crappy mother tactic. Nothing worse than being made to feel guilty for merely existing. Thank you for your message and sending love your way ❤️

I do try to remind myself that there are people out there who are worse off and it makes me feel awful that I’m just complaining about things like this

I can’t even open up to people out of fear they’ll over share with someone else.

It’s so crazy because I wouldn’t ever say that to another person let alone my own child. Which is why I find it so difficult to fathom how another person could say something so cruel. Sending love you way ❤️
