Search Results: victim of abuse

My mother is not a nice woman (neither was her mother nor her mother's mother). All of them are narcissistic petty self-centered individuals who, due to their own lack in a way, can only feel good about themselves when making others feel down. They've all said nasty hurtful things - to the degree my mother's siblings would have little to do with their mother during her dying months. Anytime there's peace & quiet my mother just has to start something & 95% of the time I'm the victim of her emotional/verbal abuse (even if, by rights, either of my brothers do the same damn thing).

As an example today she just mentioned while helping her with the laundry I look like a balloon due to my stomach. Yes, I am overweight but I happen to carry my weight very well (most people assume I'm 30+ lbs lighter than I am). And the thing is, is if I was really a balloon I wouldn't be able to easily do situps (or if I wanted to be like her I could have pointed out that unlike her I can actually see my toes over my "balloon" stomach).

At one point I'd say no, it's not right to hate her. But back then I'd actually care if she lived or died. Nowadays I literally don't give a damn.
