Very often my mother screams at me over the smallest things. For example, today I forgot to turn on my brother's lizard's light, so when she returned from work, she screamed at me telling me that I never do anything, and that I'm such a stupid b*tch. In these situations, I've learned to remain calm and generally remain silent/talk in a level voice, however she yells her lungs out. Then, it usually turns into how her life is so hard, and why am I trying to be like my "loser, awful father." (My parents divorced a few years ago, but my mom has a boyfriend.) I told her I like my father, and she acts as if this is a crime. Since I forgot to turn the lizard's light on, she told me I was going to go live with my dad, and to pack my things. So, I went to my room and began packing, and she followed me in and continued yelling the entire time (I think she was surprised that I was actually packing.) While I was packing (saying nothing due to her constant screaming) she said to me "You don't even know how much it hurts my feelings when I have to hurt your feelings." Everything always turns into poor her. I know this post was all over the place, but I really needed to vent. Does anyone have any advice, please? My brother is leaving for college next year, and I don't know how I'll be able to survive being stuck with her for the next few years (until I'm finally free in college.)
My mom takes her anger out on me?
