i am scared of what my mother mights do if i tell her anything that i do or did wrong. i am constantly told how i am so selfish and inmature and what a failure i am.. i often break down in front of teachers,peers and friends because i cant deal with being put down from my mother on small things that she turns big like how i wear my pants. she constantly yells at me and only tells my brother good night and how much she loves him and gives me the cold shoulder. i was the a blame for why no one would get any christmas presents last year because i asked where she was going one night. she was going shoppping. she screams at me because if i ask for some money to go somewhere or if i can get something and she tells me why dont i ask my dad who i dont have a realashionip with. i feel i am the blame for everything that happens its never her or my brothers fault, always mine.
i was exposed to a abuseive mother and father realashionship when i was 6-8.
have i been emotionally abused?

Yes. You need to seek out a teacher you can trust & explain that you need someone to speak with to help understand what is happening in your life. Many public schools have intervention specialists who can help - or at least lend a sympathic ear.
I am very sorry to hear that your Mother has the maturity of a 5 year old. Some of us never really grow up & never learn how to accept the consequences of our actions - we blame everyone for everything that happens to us rather than taking responsibility for our part in it. It sounds like that is what is happening to you. You didn't mention how old you are - but you do need someone to speak with - I hope you have a teacher you feel you can trust to guide you to that person.

Yes it sure sounds like you are being emotionally abused. I would suggest that you speak with a counselor because this is not healthy, nobody should be treated this way. You need to break the cycle before it gets worse. I wish you the best in all you do and I hope that your mom and brother get help as well.

Yes..I would suggest talking to your doctor to get proper counselling* to work through this.... But no matter what your mom and dads relationship was like(If it was abusive for them both) Your mom doesn't have the right to emotionally abuse you, putting you down, and blaming everything on you*
Seek counselling GOODLUCK*

You do need to talk to someone...is that a counselor at your school?
Sounds like your mother is under alot of pressure and taking it out on you...maybe write her a letter and tell her how you feel.

Yes honey, what you described does qualify as emotional abuse. Your mother is clearly unstable and is not capable of taking care of you properly at this time. Please go to your teacher, school counselor, or principal RIGHT NOW and tell them everything you told us, and ask them for help.

You need counseling, talk to your guidance counselor. or a doctor. I am sure you feel so much alone. I feel for you. Read books on self esteem, and try and work on yourself. In time good things are going to come to you, just hang in their!

Yes you need talk to a councilor, and possibly get out of the house!
