Today, for the first time since I was 15 (I'm 21 now), I've thought about cutting myself because my mother has done nothing but tear me down since I was little. I'm never thin enough, pretty enough, smart enough, or important enough for her. She calls me lazy even though I put myself through college working two jobs just because I can't find a job. The constant criticizing from someone who is supposed to love and support me MMT.

Don't let her bring you down, you've already achieved a lot! You can not let one woman's opinion shape how you see yourself! Yes she may be the one who brought you into the world but that does not give her any better knowledge of who you are and what you are capable of! You are who you choose to be. These accusations she throws at you make me think she is insecure in herself... you can't take what she says to heart any more! you are as awesome a human being as anyone else and we all have many wonderful things to offer! take care!

Don't forget to show her love. The love that you deserve to get.

Hi. I hope you are doing fine now. I believe I am in a similar situation to yours and I totally understand your pain. Stay strong friend. I am sure good-great times are waiting for you ahead :D

Get to a counselor. you need someone professional to help you manage that relationship and grow your self esteem.

15 at the moment (soon 16 :3) I'm in a similar situation with mothers but don't give up and don't even consider cutting. you are beautiful and don't deserve to harm yourself in such a way. I'm very sure you are perfect in other people's eyes. so stay strong beautiful.

Hi, when I was fifteen (I'm 17 now) I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. My mom is very critical and if I try confronting her she gets defensive and denies it. Hang in there, you're most definitely not alone. I know for a fact that you are beautiful, drop dead gorgeous, you are amazing just the way you are. Please try to believe that, and one day I hope to belive it about myself too. Good luck, and get better!
