Yes! I don't remember ever having a good relationship with my mother. She always says or does things to make me feel bad. I go through long periods without calling her and then I'm the bad child. When we do go out she is always buying everything. She tells me that she is sorry. But it just doesn't seem sincere because she keeps on doing it (putting me down). I just try to avoid her, that way I won't feel bad. She always twists the things that I say. For example, I tell her one thing and she comes out saying that I said something completely different. When I got married she didn't even congratulate me! Sometimes I just think about keeping her out of my life and never calling her again!
I thought I was the only one that felt like this. Thanks for asking the question. 33

Well, yeah....but mostly it's because she is clinically insane, paranoid and manipulative and refuses to take care of herself (like going to see a counselor). She has basically isolated herself from all three of her kids and quite a few of her siblings. We've told her repeatedly that when she decides to get into therapy we can resume our relationship, until then it will be superficial...oh and my sister won't let her see her kids because she tries to put them on guilt trips. I don't have kids because I don't want to inflict those bad genes on anyone else! I'm 33--mom is 53 and in a wheelchair from back and neck problems. She also has some other physical problems, but we suspect a lot of the problems could be minimized with some intense therapy.

My whole family always fights. I come from a family of 4 girls and we never all get along. My mother likes to start gossip and then it spirals out of control. She wasnt a very good mom growing up and I dont think she really wanted any of us. When we dont talk to her she says all her children are selfish. I moved states away just to get away from my whole family. It's sad though because I have never had what people call a "family". I don't talk to any of my sisters, I am the baby and they would rather see me fall then succeed, so I dont bother with any of them. I have a sister who is a therapist and yet is the most judgemental and bitter person in the world. I have a daughter with a famous athlete and they have always been bitter instead of happy for me. I do think it starts with my mother. 35

YES (situation reversed, my probs are with my stepdaughter). She has been rude, inconsiderate, hurtful and disrespectful to the point that I felt I could no longer live in the same house. Add to that we both suffer from depression, yesterday was HELL!
I have tried very hard to be gentle, considerate, tolerant and yielding as she tries to recover from abuse. I feel as if I have inherited all the abuse she received and then some. Yesterday we talked (more her than me) and I hope, oh Dear God how I hope, that things will be better from here on in.

No.
We didn't always have a good relationship. Now as an adult (41) and a mother (18-21) I have learned many things. In fact, I have had to humble myself and appologize to my Mom for giving her such a hard time when she tried to give me advise or even discipline me (especially in my teenage years). Funny thing though, she appologized to me about some things as well. That was an awesome conversation!
My mother and I now have a great relationship. We talk regularly, even after she moved. I love her dearly and thank God for her.

i hate my mother, she beat me when I was a child, and I will hate her forever for it. I am 30 now. I dont talk to her, and I the only feelings I have when I think of her is disdane.
So, parents, when you think about spare the rod spoil the child, maybe you wanna think twice, cause you never know when your child will cut your child abusing *** right outa their lives when they get old enough.

I remember feeling warm in the womb and then all of a sudden a one eyed monster kept poking at me.
