my mom has issues with things...she makes me anxious and nurvous all the time- sometimes she downright makes me feel bad about myself with the comments she makes. But she has more or less taught me to respect her and all her wishes. she has made me feel so self-conscience and I have the biggest guilt factor- it is terrible, the slightest thing can make me feel horrible for days, weeks. I just cant escape her, but it makes me feel bad to think about it- she is nurturing and has brought me up, but some things I just cant stand. I want to tell her how I feel but her anger is stormy...and there are some skeletons in my closet that I fear she would condemn me for, even though they are not bad she will be very angry, without reason. she does not go by 'reason' more by madness and guidelines of 'motherly protection'. what do I do, just wait until I move out, then forget about it? or make a deal out of it now, which could be disasterous? my brother gave me advice- just dont tell...*hes older*

I had a mother just like that. I lived with her for 17 years. I would say just put up with it till you move out but in the mean time find someone you can talk to and get this off your chest. Some people dont realize what this can do to a young person. It leaves scars that we live with all our lives. You also need to try to find a positive way of dealing with this. You dont want this to make a mess out of your future.God bless you and good luck.

I am not sure there was a question there. If you feel that you can not approach your mother to talk about anything, seek out other people that you can talk to. Maybe she could take you to counseling by yourself. The counselor can not tell your mother anything you talk about unless you say you are going to harm yourself or someone else. Dont feel alone. A lot of kids feel the same way. Seek out professional help.

I had the exact same problem growing up. Your mom must watch the news too much and had conservative parents scared of crime and the world
