How to get through these feelings?

ok, this could be quite long but I need to get it off my chest, and its not something I could tell my friends as I dont want them to have to bear my pain or suffer in any way because of me… I dont want them to even have to think about it!

Well, I feel utterly worthless. I feel down, not constantly but quite often when I am at home especially. I dont have any major problems I guess but… I think my mum hates me for being alive. She has told me several times she regrets having children (I also have two brothers) and that we ruin her life. She has threatened to leave and actually walked out the door countless times and it makes me feel empty… that she, the person I thought would love me forever, could just walk out my life, leave me right now if she felt like it. Just thinking about the time she walked out and I thought she would never come back tears me up inside, also for the fact I was left with a crying 7 year old who she had just left. luckily that time she came back. but I dont get her,at times we will be ok, we will be chatting like mates and then a little later I will ask her something and she will fly into a rage, yelling and shouting. telling me im lazy, useless, that I dont care about anyone else, and such things. now I dont think im an angel or anything but I help around the house, do chores and stuff.I try not to be too demanding, or stropy or mean. I’ll be the first to admit im not perfect but I dont think im that bad. yes, my older brother is and that could be part of the source of her problems, he is lazy, he is 17 and never helps, never washes, doesnt care, isnt bothered… but he is a teenage boy. it seems kinda normal, isnt it? anyway, this is kinda leading me away from my point. I feel terrible for me because my life feels so abnormal. I feel alone, away from my friends because I feel like im hiding another part of my life. my mum doesnt love me, care for me, care about me. and yet I makes me disgusted with myself. I must be a seriously horrible person to make my mum act like that. I cant beleive she could walk away from me yet I wish I was a better person so she wouldnt want to leave. I cant believe I have ruined her life. I’ve stopped her from being happy. I hope you understand wot I am gettin at, the conflicting feelings of being torn up inside for me yet hating myself for being so bad, yet not feeling that I am that bad and feeling angry at my mum for having kids if she didnt reliase the commitment it meant and telling me that she wishes she had never had me. I just feel so… worthless,useless, life seems so pointless… and yet sometimes everything quitens down and it seems kinda ok till it all starts again… and… I dunno… I cant take it. it honestly feels like its killing me.

Im so sorry this was so long… and yet I still feel like I havent sed exactly how I feel. and im not sure wot I am even asking for! any help, any guidance, any advice maybe? or am I just a spoiled brat? should I stop moaning and … I dunno, be better. or should I let her leave… then she’ll be happy I guess… with the responsibilities of being a mother out the way?

and please, serious answers only.

thanks

Answer #1

I, myself, don’t have a parent like that, but maybe your mom just says those things because you may remind her of someone/something from her past that troubles her. But either way, even though she may not SHOW it, deep down inside I know the love is there…She may just be one of those people that don’t like to show happiness or love towards people in their life, and I’m always here for you- I try my absolute BEST to help anyone and everyone that needs it, and I am so truly sorry that your life iz like that, I will pray for you—God bless!

Answer #2

first of all: you are not a bad person from what I read…dont feel like its your fault because it isnt…your mom might be having some issues but she loves u…I know how you feel…it can be terrifying…but always keep hope…there will come a time when your life is a wonderful happy place where you are surrounded by people who love and support u. and if its bugging you that much…talk to your friends…im sure they will be happy to at least listen to your problems…and it will make you feel so much better im praying for u to every god I can think of :)

Answer #3

Yeah, Sometimes you try to not make mistakes to see if that makes it better but it never does. And its understandable, your mom brings you down a lot, and she treatens you that she will leave you, and its understandle that you feel like your nothing like things are all your foult. But the best thing to do here, believe me, is to just believe it yourself, because it’s not true what she is saying, you are worth something and you should be happythat you are in this world. She dosent want you, but you know what you need to know that there are tons of people that do want you, that do love you, and just because your mom sais so its true for everyone else. My mom leaves for days and sometimes I also fear she wont come back because it’s clear that there not much love coming from her to me. Also telling your friends is not a problem, they are not going to suffer, because you know what thats whay they are there, thats why we all have friends. Meaby a school councelor, they are there to talk and some people find the happy. Is there more family around? Someone who you can tell what is going on with your mom. I’m always here. It’s understandeble that you can’t explain what you feel, because when perents you love don’t love you back it’s a feeling you can’t discribe.

Answer #4

I’m sorry to hear about this. I know how you feel. I’m 17 and my mom walked on me when I was 10. My other brothers and sisters are in foster care. I live with my dad. Maybe you could tell her how you really feel. If that doesn’t work talk to other family members that could maybe help. Sorry I’m not much of help, but I tried.

Answer #5

Your Mother has issues that are not your fault. She comes back because she loves you and cannot imagine living without you. I see one of two things happening with her.
Option 1: she has the same feelings that you do. She is everwelmed by all of her responsibilities and this is causing her a lot of emotional stress. Unfortunatey you get to witness it. .

Option 2: Your mother is bi-polar. You say she can be happy one second and then crazy mad the next. This is a classic sign. I suggest you look it up.

She needs to talk to someone. Either way she is depressed and she needs help. If she won’t get help then you should so that you can better understand what is happening and your family can help her.

Answer #6

I can’t even begin to imagine what you’re going thru… I do have a parent whose emotions are always fluctuating, but he’s never threatened to walk out on us. I don’t know whether or not you are a Christian, but it doesn’t matter because GOD loves you regardless of whether or not you believe HIM. He wants u, HE has a purpose for you. HE wants to take the heaviness of your heart and make it light, filled with HIS love. My best advise in getting through would be to maybe emotionally distance yourself from your mom so that when she does or says those hurtful things it doesn’t bring you as much pain… “For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.” Psalms 30:5 I’m praying for you.

Answer #7
