Today, I called my mum, crying because of my low self-esteem. She interrupted my sobs by saying, "Can I hang up now? The phone's getting hot." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called my mother to say hi. She spent a whole hour and a half complaining about how I never call her, bawling and calling me "a waste of human flesh." I call her at least once a week. FML
Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML
Today, I called my mother crying, telling her how my husband has apparently been cheating on me for months. To my surprise, she didn't interrupt me or cut me off the whole time. Only when she didn't respond, did I realize she'd hung up a half an hour ago. FML
Today, I was crying after having argued with my boyfriend. My mom saw me, she asked, "Why are you crying? Don't you have homework to do?" FML
Today, I was talking on the phone to my crush so I went into the bathroom for some privacy. My drunk mother started banging on the door, asking what I was doing in there. I told her that I was on the phone, so she yelled super loud, "While you're shitting?" He immediately hung up. FML
Today, I called my mom from Australia. I have been abroad for two months and hadn't talked to her in a long time. A few minutes into the conversation my moms stops me and says this call must cost a fortune and hangs up on me. A few bucks in more important to her then me. FML
Today, I found myself crying in the bathroom because I started to feel lonely and depressed. My mother came into the bathroom, hearing me cry and gave me an hour long speech about what a beautiful human being I am… And to not forget to lose weight. FML
Today, I came home crying and informed my mother that someone had called me a 'fat bitch' today. She held me at arms length, looked me straight in the eyes, and lovingly said, "You can't change who you are." FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she heard me say "love you" on the phone. I was talking to my mom. FML
Today, while I was sitting in the living room with my mother, my phone rang. She immediately exclaimed, "I'm not calling you! Why is it going off?" She was serious. My own mother doesn't believe people talk to me. FML

Sorry, OP. But sometimes you have to rely on yourself to make the most of life. Good luck.

Ask yourself who is it that perceives this low self esteem. Can you perceive this insecure experiencer? Keep looking.

A good mom would have just dealt with it or at least speakerphone.

My mother mostly just ignores my problems in favor of her TV shows. Sorry your mom sucks, OP.

When I lived at home my mom did the same thing, No. 84. If I DARED utter a word, no matter how important, she'd snarl 'buzz off' at me and crank up the volume on the idiot box. Later she'd be pissed at me that I hadn't told her something important but the problem was I couldn't spit out three sentences before getting the 'buzz off' dismissal and the volume turned up to a deafening level. The TV is STILL more important than I am so it doesn't get any better with age.

Wow how cold is that? I see parents getting colder an colder towards their children and it really saddens me. I think that's a problem with this generation, they are not coddled they are neglected.

I kinda have to agree with what someone said above, maybe OP's mom has heard it all before and has run out of ways to help. I have really bad panic attacks about the same thing and have had them all my life, when I get one I usually call my mom and I usually get a similar reception because its the same thing every single time and my mom just doesn't know how to help anymore. So long story short, maybe OP's mom isn't a cold heartless bitch after all.

Yeah, but she still could have said something better. I mean, even "I'm not sure how I can help you here" will do. Not "can I hang up now". That's just rude in every case.
