Thinking about returning my mom's Christmas presents?

Question

I have bipolar and she is extremely unsupportive and she mocks me all the time. She's pretty much rude to me all the time and gives me the cold shoulder or ignores me if I say something. Like now for instance. She said that she didn't believe in that ~spiritual~ crap, but she believe in Karma. But then I said: "Karma is spiritual since it's from a religion... Hinduism" But then she's like: "no, it's not..." And I said: "Well, you said that it wasn't, I'm just saying..." And then she starts yelling at me. She's so ridiculous. She complains about me all the time. I pretty much hate her the majority of the time and she always messes up my day. She finds a way to make me feel bad for myself, saying I need to go on a diet, but then saying that I'm fine, but then saying that I need to loose 20lbs when I'm a size 6. GOD. This woman. She's a narcissistic.

She also doesn't believe that I'm bipolar either, even though I have had two opinions from psychologists and a psychiatrist.

She's not bipolar; she doesn't treat my brother like this or anyone else in my family. She just resents me.

Answer 1

Don't return the presents. Take the high road. Be nice to her even if she's mean to you. Hopefully, things will work out. I'll pray for you.

Answer 2

maybe she's bipolar too? she sounds it.
anyway, give her the presents no matter what. if she doesnt give u presents, that's fine. you give presents because u want to, not cause you expect anything in return.
if she's still a beyotch, then so be it. make HER look like the beytoch.
you are the angel for giving her a gift.

EDIT: eggnog...girls can get catty. even women. my mom is like this also. just ignore her nonsense and make sure when you grow up to have a daughter, you don't treat her like how your mom treated you. i know it is a sad feeling because you'd think out of all the people in this world, it is ur mom that should be supportive. who knows what her deal is. maybe her mom treated her badly also.
break the cycle. you know better. you are smart.
oh and forget what she says about losing weight. there is this new article about curvier women are better and healthier. look it up.

Answer 3

I don't know if she's bi-polar or not, but she sure sounds like an insensitive bisnatch. Maybe she is feeling guilty because you are bi-polar and shes taking her guilt out on you. First don't fight back with her she talks stupid crap anyway. When she starts leave the room. Get her some literature on your condition and leave them around the house.And do give her the present, you are above acting like her. Don't let her mess up your day and bring you down. Be happy

Answer 4

Gosh, she sounds like she hurts your feelings ALOT. :( Well, maybe you should take her Christmas present back if she is really getting to you. I mean, mocking you for a medical problem, is very mean. If you do take it back, you can always buy her another present since Christmas isn't gonna be here for a while. Maybe your mother is the bi-polar one. Just because your mother is acting a little mean and immature, doesn't mean you have to be. If you feel you should, give her the present and be the bigger person. :)

Good luck, hon.

Answer 5

Take the high road never stoop to someone else's level. Show Mom your class and grace. Accept her gifts and sweetly say thank-you. Buy her a nice gift and refuse to fight with her. You will feel better about yourself knowing you rose above the drama.

Answer 6

It sounds like your mom is the bipolar one. Sorry but moms are suppose to be suportive.

Answer 7

Yea return her presents and buy her a big fat lump of coal!

Answer 8

Take a photo of your lower backside, tell her to post it by her door and kiss it every time she passes by.
