Painful, innit? Even more so is how these mothers will self-justify & DARVO to keep their daughter on the back foot while presenting themselves as the victim.
In the spirit of solidarity & commiseration, my mother - & your 'puce faced' comment brought this back so sharply CSI - grabbed my head & forced me to look down the loo at her unflushed sanitary wear, while screaming "You should have been an abortion! I should have cut you up & flushed you down the lavatory!"
I was maybe 7 years old, & it took a few more years to find out what A Nabortion was, but you get the gist.
Ahem! I should not hijack your thread dear buns.
Your mother is an outrageous loony, there is no excuse for her comment, it reflects on her & not you, & you must not allow her to make you feel bad about yourself.
This cannot be an isolated incident. Were your mother a boyfriend, we would all be telling you to LTB. I appreciate that this is currently impossible economically, but I would urge you to accept that you are living in a situation of ongoing domestic abuse.
If you do accept that, there may be organisations (Council? www.refuge.org.uk/get-help-now/?) who might be able to help you?
Right now, you need advice & support from a calm, safe & knowledgeable body. Even if it is only a hand-hold at this stage, having a professional give you some guidance about what steps you can take & what help might be open to you will not only be a practical help, it will give you some focus & hope.
I absolutely understand how overwhelming this type of maternal abuse is. Keep taking deep breaths, try not to get swamped by the feeling of 'impossible to escape' by breaking that escape plan into tiny steps.
First step - call Refuge. Even if that is not the optimum agency for your situation, they will be able to advise who might be a better port of call for you.
Second step - your mother has been a Grade A cunt to you just now, & if I was your RL friend I'd have no hesitation in telling her so. Because this IS NOT YOUR FAULT, & recognising that is a vital step.
You are not alone, & once you are able to contact an agency like Refuge to get some concrete advice & action plans, you will start to feel more in control of your situation & able to cope with the twattery your mother has subjected you to.
I hope you are able to sleep well & get rested tonight.
