mommy issues cool kids club 😎

[Iwishiwasafrog]

Moms are great. Except when they aren't. Tell me about your mommy issues! I have no clue what the hell mine was thinking when she decided to have me because she was not equipped to be a parent whatsoever. I hate her for bringing me here. Undiagnosed bipolar, terrible with money, naive about how the world works and an addict. I'm left picking up all the pieces of my crappy childhood and life because she's in utter denial about it all thanks to the drugs. My compliments to the chef this is the worst dish I've ever been served

Not liking woman because your mom dominated you and household.

I mean I don't feel they are worse or anything, It is just that I fear them and always feel not good enough. Maybe I am not good enough. Please do not lie

My Mummy just wanted to have kids - she didn't really know how to bring them up beyond the toddler stage.

Good enough for who?

My mum is an abusive, self absorbed narcassist who doesn't care about me in the slightest, I hate her.

So sorry about your situation. Some people should just not have kids. My mom shouldn't have either, for sure.

My mom was more or less okay, except she was a huge enabler to my dad, a power- tripping, manipulative, controlling, narcissistic alcoholic.

He craved control; he needed it. And he needed to remind everyone that he had it. And when he didn't feel like he had enough of it, he searched at the bottom of a bottle. It was through that bottle he realized teenage boys are easy to control with your fists.

It was a predictable pattern. My sperm donor didn't feel like he was getting the respect he deserved, so he made some stupid ass rule off the top of his head (no hanging with any friends unless he's met their parents, no using the car without a way to track its location, must be home from work at 10:00 sharp, even though I get off work at 10:00). When the rule wasn't followed or we protested in the slightest, he'd get drunk off his ass and start hitting. If we gave up and acted weak, it was over quickly. If we stood our ground or fought back, the hitting got harder and the fists got more closed. Once he felt like he had showed everyone he's the boss, he'd walk away and act like nothing had ever happened... until the exact same thing happened next week.

My mom tried to stand up to him a few times, but then he'd turn his attention to her... so she quickly learned to keep her mouth shut and just let him hit us.

Bottom line, both my parents can get fucked. A big reason I want to suicide is it's one of the few things I can do to actually hurt them.

My Mom died when I was 13. She was ill for most of my childhood, which made her involuntarily neglectful. When she was having a rare good day (not fucked up on meds or whatever) she did all she could to please her children, so she was pretty permissive. She always said her main goal was to give her children a good childhood despite the circumstances (her being sick and us being poor). In the end she was an amazing woman but a bad parent. I might not be on this site if I was raised by a person who knew what they were doing and were capable of doing it.

My mother became jealous of me as I entered adulthood, setting up a competition by which I was blindsided. The more I succeeded, they less she liked me and mine. She died angry with me.

I'm sorry for all those without healthy, loving mothers. Peace xoxo

I feel inadequate, just that. For the world idk

I feel inadequate

So do I, but there are different strokes for different folks. At the end of the day you can find thousands of people that are less adequate than you in many respects which are far more content than you. This is a consistent pattern. Our problem is self loathing, not really if others loathe us. WE don't see us as adequate.
