My rebirth
Somebody in the forums mentioned her relationship with her mother. It brought back proud memories of how I conquered my own dysfunctional relationship with mine.
You should have lived independently of your mother's opinions long ago.
We may not be able to pick our family, but depending on our family, friends can be much closer and much more reliable. Remember, terms like "family", "friends" are merely social conventions meant to simplify life in order to make some sense out of it. There is no actual meaning in those words themselves, but the extent of your relationship with someone speaks for itself, blood ties or no.
I've thrown my own parents out of my life almost exactly three months ago. I was no more than their posession, to be invested for their own selfish purposes. There was no excuse for the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse that I went through. My father was manipulative, controlling, and violently psychopathic. My own mother was jealous of my womanhood and my youth to the point that her motherly instincts to protect was in constant conflict with her envious, malicious tendencies. When parents have gone bad in the sense that they suppresses your good qualities, controls all aspect of your life and prevents you from being who you are, do not make excuses for them, but fight for your freedom to choose by all means.
