Narcissistic mom strikes again
Today, my mother told me that I "should have never had children" after I sided with my son when he yelled at her for talking too loudly. I have hyperacusis, and my son has sensory deprivation disorder. My mom knows this, and blames it on her friends who are hard of hearing. Nothing is ever her fault. FML

Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML
Antisocial, I guess

Leave me alone
Today, I got yelled at for having a set of headphones around my neck at all times, because it "makes me seem disinterested." Two things: 1. I have established myself as a very good listener among my peers; 2. I'm autistic, so I need the headphones readily available at all times to cope with loud environments. FML

Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML

Today, going to my psychiatrist's appointment for my PTSD and depression, my mother yelled about how useless I am and how I torture her existence with my "abnormalities." She told the doctor how much I've improved and become such a delight at home for her and our family. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to tell my parents I think I'm suffering from schizophrenia. They refused to discuss it after telling me, "It's all in my head." FML

Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML

Today, my shrink diagnosed me as severely depressive, due to a lot of stress and yells at home. After the session, my parents argued about whose fault it was and then went on to yell at me for being depressive and wasting their money. FML

Time to move
Today, as every morning since I started working from home, my mother interrupts me with her complaints about family members and old history. I'm not qualified to be a family therapist, and I need this job to pay my bills. She doesn't take the hint with my headphones on, but heaven help me if I interrupt her TV show later. FML

Today, I overheard my mom talking about how she would love me if only I didn’t have ADHD. FML

Show her to a doctor, it sounds like she has a case of being an idiot.

She's right. I know everytime I put headphones in I hear voices, so I must be crazy.

no one thinks you deserved this.

Some people. As I was growing up, I had my left ribcage sticking out noticeably more than the right one, as well as having to crack my back often. My mother said I was simply just "growing" and "temporary disproportion" was normal. Then a few months ago, her cousin noticed a deviation in my back, and encouraged my mom to take me for an x-ray. Turns out I have a 60 degree curve in my thoracic spine, and as my body is fully-grown, a back brace will be ineffective. I require back surgery at some point next year.

I'm sorry, but that sounds like neglect. Your mother should be ashamed of herself.

Well -now- she feels bad, in fact her whole side of the family is hysterical. Despite the huge deviation, there is no pain, only mild discomfort and stiffness. Still, it would have been nice for her to actually check me out, since scoliosis is common on my father's side of the family (yet again, something I only recently found out).

Well I hope your medication works and you take your medication and who cares what your mom says

That's awful :( I hate ignorant people like your mother. I bet if it was her, she'd be dying for you to help her. Ugh. Get well op.

My mom is the same way. She HATES when I listen to music or voice call on my iPod.

Good luck, OP. Don't let your mother get you down or crap on your problems. Get the help you need.
