What I thought was going to be a great Thanksgiving turned into a nightmare. My mom once again had one of her huge outbursts and just had to make everyone upset. It started out as a fight between her and my dad, they were screaming and my mom threatened divorce, and then she was fighting with my grandma. She was getting into her face calling her names and screaming. I would not allow her to treat my grandmother like that. I had to tell her to stop. Then she was following me around the house screaming for me to give her my phone. She kept pushing her body into mine to try and keep me from moving, so i ran up the stairs towards my room and she followed me. Then she grabbed me and pushed me in my room. I just kept yelling leave me alone. And she said ”If you say leave me alone one more time I’m gonna knock you out.” So I kept running away and she kept following me. Eventually my dad came to me and asked for my phone without screaming, so I gave it to him. But my mom continued to follow me and taunt me calling me a *****. Then she was making up stories that I when she came in my room i said ”Get out of my room” meanwhile she FOLLOWED me in there and PUSHED me inside. I told her that was a huge lie. Then she said ”No that’s why you have no friends because you’re a liar.” because I had a fight with my old friends a few weeks back. So I went back downstairs and she was still following me. She bashed her body into mine and I hit into the wall. Then my older brother got involved and told her how disgusted he was with her behavior. My mom came and tried to hurt me again and my brother stood in front of her. Then she was mad at him also and was still taunting me. This whole time my little brother was screaming at her to stop, so she was yelling at him too. So both my brothers and myself went into our living room, and cried. I had not seen my older brother cry since we went to a funeral years ago. Then my mom came back and started talking to my older brother. He kept saying it’s not fair, because it’s not. He just came back from college the day before, and he kept saying that he was so happy to come home and now he didn’t even want to be around her. Because when my brother came home a few weeks back, my mom had an outburst. So she said in an angry tone ”Sorry.” And now she’s pretending like nothing happened. I am so mad at her I don’t even want to see her. She continually said “Oh everyone has bad days, mom’s are allowed to have them too.” And she told me that I should be thankful that she doesn’t hit me. I can’t deal with all of this anymore. Whether I am at home or at school, I am taunted, bullied, and I feel absolutely worthless. Right now I don’t feel the reason for working, or talking, or trying, I’m just done.

What a sad thing to happen to you at a time when families normally come together. Your mother certainly has problems, you mention drink previously, which could be clouding her judgement, although there’s no excuse for her behaviour to you. The only thing that’s notable in this is that your brothers have stood up to protect you. It’s such a shame that she cannot recognise your problems of depression and seems to sweep your suicide attempts aside. I can’t recommend anything but to hold on, and that I’ve read your post and feel for you at this time.
i too feel for you. abusive behaviour is wrong no matter what the cause.
You have your brothers and they have you, don’t forget that.
I concur with the above commenters. Your mother stated that you should be thankful she doesn’t hit you, but her behavior DOES sound abusive. As someone who is very familiar with family issues (and a troubled mother, in all honesty), I’m very sorry your Thanksgiving was such a downer. It is nice, though, that your brother came to your defense and recognizes that your mother’s treatment of you is unacceptable.
