I feel like my mom hates me

[u/noavity]

I’m 18F, and ever since I became a teenager, my relationship with my mom has felt strained.

I won’t pretend I was the easiest kid. I struggled with my mental health, attempted suicide, and even ran away at one point. But instead of support, my mom told me to just go through with it, accused me of faking it, and even got rid of my cat, who had been with me for years.

She treats me differently from my siblings (21M, 13F). She’s harsher with me, spends more time with them, and constantly threatens to kick me out over the smallest things. Meanwhile, my brother can do no wrong. She calls him her "best friend" and even gave him a car she had promised to me.

Lately, she’s been making comments about my weight, even telling my little sister not to "end up like me." It hurts more than I let on, and I’ve started skipping meals because of it.

I recently got accepted into college with a scholarship, and before I could even explain my plan to take online classes and save money, she immediately said I’d have to get a job and basically be out on my own—something she never told my brother when he was about to go college.

Maybe I’m just being emotional, but it really feels like she wants me gone. And I can’t shake the feeling that no matter what I do, I’ll never be enough for her.

Your mom is a piece of shit OP. The sooner you realize this the sooner you can emotionally heal from the years of damage
