Is it wrong to be really jealous of your mom?

Anonymous

My mom is far more prettier even at her age and I always hated the way I looked. I even started to struggle with body dysmorphia. I realized that my mom is the girl I wish to look like even in her 50s. I have some features but everyone says I look like my dad.

What makes it a bit worse is that she is kind of self centered.. and it often feels like competition.. she wants to do everything I do.. it’s fine but I’ve been trying to get out of her shadow and now that I find things that help me with my confidence she tries to do it too..

It’s so hard being her daughter.. bc I felt like I had to emotionally raise myself.

There’s even a guy I really really liked and she started bragging about him giving her tight hugs. I never had a boyfriend and I was excited to meet and talk about him.. then she kind of stopped talking about him with me and her energy changed.. that hurt a lot.

I just feel so alone and so jealous.. everyone likes her.. even young guys.. I just compare myself and hate myself a lot

she also has said some really mean things about my looks in the past..
