hey guys. My mom and I haven’t been talking for a week now because I did something stupid. I lit a paper using a lighter because I liked the smell of the burning paper. I did it while sitting in the toilet. My mom smelled the smoke and she started yelling at me. She said things like “it’s bad for your heart and your brain.” “That’s probably why you’re so stupid.” And then the next morning, she told my dad and then my dad scolded me and said that I was stupid and that I’m an addict. And also that my brain is probably damaged for smelling burn papers. Though I only did it twice. I told them that and they didn’t believe me. My mom didn’t get over the subject fast like my dad did so the next day, everytime she sees me, she’ll say things like “stupid” “no brain” “asshole” I got sick of it so I started to act opposed by her. Everytime I walked past her I would act like she’s a virus or something (I know it’s childish.) then she got angry and suddenly yelled “I hope you die already I hope you die.” I was so hurt and mad that I answered her back. I yelled back at her, “yea I’m gonna die soon. I’m going to die.” And she kept quiet. Then the next day she told me to stay away from her because she can’t bear to see my face. So now I’m living with my grandparents. I mean it’s okay if she scolds me but to tell me to die? I think that’s crossing the line. I don’t know what to do.

Yes that is crossing the line. Could the grandparents talk to her on your behalf? If she won’t listen to you, could you write a letter to her? I am glad you have somewhere else to stay though.
She told me before that she doesn’t like it when my grandparents interfere. I don’t know what her problem is. She said that it’s better if nobody interferes and she can realize what she did was or wrong or right. And I don’t want to write letters to her again because I did that last time and she said “don’t write me letters and all that bullshit. You want to say something, say it in my face.” So yea
wow. I am sorry. Please realize she is wrong. hugs
I think (no offence) that your mother is a bit stupid, she just doesn’t see what she has. We are all different and special
Thank you.
It sounds like the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. While lighting papers might not be the most strategic thing to do, the chronic insulting went overboard. As Whispers noted, it’s good that you have a place to stay. Having somebody communicate with your Mom for you might take the tension out of the air. However, this probably won’t be the last time that all of you will disagree. Things happen in life and people “kiss and make up” so they can move forward. Maybe family therapy could help everyone with their conflict resolution skills.
But she doesn’t like it when someone talks her out of it. She’ll think that they’re siding with me. And then she’ll get angry and say “I’m your mother. I can do what I want.” I don’t know. Maybe we do need family therapy. I’ll talk to my dad. Thanks though.
Have the same situation going on at my place.I like this girl a lot and my parents rather see my dead than married to her.
Wow. Its good to respect your parents and take their opinions into consideration. However, it is your life, your happiness. Live you life for you.
