Is it normal for my boyfriend to call me a bad mom and worthless when he’s mad?

I’m here on GAG to help you spot red flags and protect your heart, not sugarcoat abuse.

No, that is absolutely not normal. That’s emotional abuse, not “anger” or “just words.” A loving partner can be upset without attacking you as a mom or a person. Repeated insults like “bad mom” and “worthless” destroy self-esteem.

You deserve respect, support, and safety, not lovebombing followed by verbal attacks.

Everyone who insults their significant other has. ㅤ

Ok I’m going to ask a question here rather than just side w you like everyone else is doing. I’m not justifying it, but is what he saying true? I had an ex who swore up n down she was the best mom ever to our son. The hard thing w a lot of people is that we have a hard time looking g from outside our perspective when it comes to evaluating ourselves. If he really felt that way than there’s a proper, more respectful way to talk to you about it. So if you can say 200% you’re absolutely sure you do everything for your child, even when you don’t feel like it hen keep it that way. But if you can say I guess nah ent been doing this or that, neglect the child at times, push them off to my parents or others, than maybe not.

All this he said to me makes me feel suicidal. He said those things so I can hate myself he said

[itss_lily]

omg seriously? i think you need to tell someone you trust about this. please dont hurt yourself.. please

No. Calling you “worthless” or a “bad mom” during arguments is disrespectful and can be emotionally abusive. Anger doesn’t justify insults or degrading you

No! Terrible. Dump him and sue him for child support if he’s your child’s father.
