Anyone else feel like they're not heard by people they care about?
My mom for some reason never wants me to talk about my problems.
When I do, I'm always met with: cold responses, her calling me cranky or overreacting and/or the silent treatment.
And a few hours later she always pretends nothing happened..
But whenever she has an issue I'm suddenly her personal therapist.
Like she trauma dumps all her issues on me, expects me to listen and feel bad for her.
And usually I have to help her by being her emotional support.
Which is fine, I'm her daughter, I'm there for her.
But it would be nice if she'd also be there for me on an emotional level.
But I can't tell her this either because then she gets angry at me..
It's so draining.

omg same!!
my mom tells me about her problems and i have to act cool and listen to while also suggesting some solutions, whereas when i tell her my problems she scolds me and tells me to learn from others, and how they are perfect at everything and i how i should strive to be like them. i can't even trust her with secrets anymore because she HAS TO tell it all to my aunt and her parents. she goes on a long rant about me lacking everywhere and i don't think she has ever complimented me for anything in the past few years. it's so unfair :( anon 20 hours ago
