Author Topic: I need some support, I'm going through a bit of tough times.  (Read 1685 times)

I don't have long to write this, so I'll just say my mom wants little to nothing to do with me and I'm going to be living with my grandparents from now and onwards. This basically means that I'll be spoiled straight off my loving ass.

My mom is fed up with me. She says I'm lazy and I won't do anything, and that I'll basically just fail at life in general. It all started with this bit of Social Studies work. I had a 6% in the class and I was sick of all her bullstuff. She keeps on drinking, smoking (even though she has COPD) and she really just cares naught about anything. She tells me I'm worthless constantly, and that I'll just be a bum living on the streets. I'm tired of this. My grandparents are better than her, at least a bit. I feel they can provide a quiet, optimal environment for my success. I don't feel safe and motivated at my mother's house because, of course, because she can't provide that with her current health and alcohol usage and alike.

Can anyone share experiences like this? I hope I'm not alone, this is a really tough time for me...
Thanks for reading.

Are you at school, or college?
Do you have a school counselor? If so, you should speak to them about what you're going through.
They'll be equipped with the necessary information for tailored support for you, as well as just being someone to chat to, and it will all be confidential.

I hope you're okay, and that things will get better for you, whatever happens.

sounds like your mom is insecure of herself and expects you to succeed, as a way to feel accomplished of something. Sadly, lots of parents fail to understand that even simply encouraging their kids is better than doing nothing but scolding them for failing.

Look on the bright side, you'll never go hungry with grandma.

I honestly hope you will get through this hard time, and your mom will stop smoking and not say you're worthless, anyways I really hope you can get through this alright.

Best of luck to you. I hope you can get things figured out and reconcile with her some time.

I have repetitive issues at home. I've been stuck for a long time. For over a year, I've been trying to get a job, but no one will hire me. My mom always complains whenever I manage to rake in an interview because she hates getting all my siblings ready so she can drive me somewhere since I don't have a car. She won't let me apply more than 15 miles from home because she doesn't want to drive me long distances to work daily due to me not having a car.

To sum up, I don't have a car because I don't have a job, and I don't have a job because I don't have a car.

And when I take a break from applying at jobs (usually because most applications take 90 to 180 days to expire, so I can resend them), my mom calls me lazy and that I'm freeloading. What I really need to do is finish high school so I can have a diploma to make me look better qualified for a job.

I know how you feel, man.

sorry to hear that OP
your mother sounds like an abusive one, has she ever hit you or anything like that?

sounds like your mom is insecure of herself and expects you to succeed, as a way to feel accomplished of something.
that's why my mom's like
it's pretty irritating

hope it all works out for you, and that your mother stops all the drinking/smoking

take care and god bless

A 6% in social studies????


You shouldn't be blaming the people around you for your performance in school. While it's reasonable for them to have some impact on you, that's way too low of a score and you're too aware of the situation for it to really be excusable.

how the hell do you manage to get a 6% lol
