Mother bullies

[Cottoncandy1983]

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone else feels that they are bullied by their mothers.....

I think my DP does. From what he tells me and I don't think I get the full story but she's horrible to him and when the sister gets involved the mother is worse.

Yep. I’m the eldest of 3 and was treated very differently to the others. She was definitely a bully. And abusive.

Yes. I was the eldest daughter of a mentally ill bully who scapegoated me as a child. Sadly she's still going strong in her 80s.

It can happen ...distance yourself .
.nc ....love yourself

@Cottoncandy1983 Did you post something similar recently? I can't search on user names (free account), but there was a similar post a couple of weeks ago. I'm wondering if its you again. The posts feel sad.

Anyway, bullies are awful in whatever form they are in. The only way to deal with them is either to stand up to them, creating a VERY firm boundary and sticking to it, or removing yourself from having anything to do with them. And if the bully is your mum, that's going to be incredibly hard, but not as hard as being bullied for the rest of their days.

Hi, it wasn't me ( as Shaggy would say) as I just posted this because I went through another bad day with her and I needed to get someone perspective.

I thought to be honest that I wouldnt get any replies and that I was being a "weakling" and too sensitive but I'm shocked how much there is out there.

Very similar only now she’s in her 90’s.
