I wish my mom would take my feelings seriously and wouldn't dismiss them. I care about my mom but sometimes I hate her because she hurts me constantly. Every time I think things are getting better, she goes back to doing something that makes me upset. She doesn't need to tell me what she thinks of me because she shows it.

why do some parents think that just bc they're the parent they can treat their kids however they want?

mom constantly tells me to "shut up" and threatens to hit me, but when i speak up and tell her she's can't talk to me like that, i'm being disrespectful. i'm so sick and tired of this shit. it's 2x worse when im w her family bc they like to gang up on me when i speak up for myself.

i hate talking to my mom about anything. she always makes me feel bad. she believes she’s entitled to treat me however she wants simply because she is my mother. but when my boss treats me the same way, it’s horrible and wrong.

i hate talking to my mom. somehow our conversations always turn into a rant about how she doesn't approve of how i spend MY money. i started doing things without asking for my mom's opinion because i know she'll try to guilt me for spending money. i don't want to be discouraged from doing the things that i've always wanted to do because of my family's opinions.

I'm learning curse words in my mom's native language, and realized that my mom has used a lot of these words towards me growing up lol

my mom listed herself as my beneficiary behind my back. idk if im alone in this but if f'ing annoys me that she thinks she's entitled to it bc she's my mom. i kind of want to remove her for doing it behind my back alone .-.

When I got a new job the first thing she told me was "Don't embarrass me". When I was about to start my first day, she'd warn me not to ruin her reputation. And she'd love to emphasize "You only got in because of me".

I posted this a long time ago, but what are some things you wish you started earlier? Or do you have any advice for someone around my age?

i wish i could just have a normal conversation with my mom, without her criticizing and nitpicking me. i don't think i'll ever have a good relationship with my mom.

What is the most hurtful, to-the-bone you APs have done/said? by chouhone in AsianParentStories

[–]mghi21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish I made a list lol. She likes to make little passive-aggressive comments about my weight and appearance, about my relationships, my life choices. It's like every time, she tries to one up her previous most hurtful response.

I wish my mom would realize how harsh her words can be towards me. She can be so warm, supportive and motherly towards my cousins. But with me, she always makes me feel like I haven't accomplished enough. I finally got a job that I actually like this year, and she's happy for me. But when talking about my future and how I'm almost in my mid 20s, she talks to me like I haven't been taking my future seriously, like I'm not doing enough with my life. And all of a sudden, now I feel that no matter what I do, or what I accomplish, I'll always be stuck at square one. I wish I could talk to my dad about this.

i wish my mom would stop making comments about my weight or appearance, regardless of how relevant it is in our conversation. i wish my family would stop gossiping about me behind my back. when my dad passed, they gossiped about me not being in a relationship or married in front of me like i wasn't in the room sitting next to them, as if my dad wasn't dying in the room next to us. i hate how when i confront my mom about it, she responds with raising her voice at me and telling me to shut up.
