Invalidating Mother?

[daisySykoSykes]

My mom always feels the need to one up me. Anytime I cut my finger, she says I've cut myself worse. Anytime I hit myself on something its always that has happened to me so many times.

I just dont feel validated and once I brought it up to my stepdad and he said I wanted pity. But no, I want to i guess feel validated? Acknowledged?

It seems that you have nothing but problems with your family. If it is not your older sister

Sharing a room?

then it is your mother. I start to wonder what is true and what not!

Perhaps you should indeed seek psychological help getting over those problems. I have the feeling that you are playing the victim here and that you believe that everyone is against you.

What about the rest of your family? Are they also against you and your lifestyle?

Let me make a screen print of this question and my answer, for my reference. One never knows what happens to this answer.

It sucks when someone doesn't validate you especially a parent. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
