I come out of karate feeling tired and regreting things I have done in school today. I wanted to talk to my mom but she doesn't get me at all! I tried venting to her that I am upset that I am missing out on my friends and my boyfriend and she doesn't care! I started to cry cause she always treats me like this. She always thinks she is right. She wants me to kill myself and she doesn't even realize. I just want her to get me before I die...
I'm sorry to hear that you feel like your mom doesn't get you. It's possible that she doesn't understand everything you are going through. Parents aren't perfect and don't always fully understand everything that their kids deal with on a regular basis. This doesn't mean that she doesn't care about you. Does she know how you feel about her? Maybe letting her know that will help her understand that sometimes you just need her to listen to you. I'm not sure what you are saying about she wants you to kill yourself, that's pretty extreme for a mom to feel about their kids, but if you ask her if that is the case, it's unlikely that is what she wants. If you are both into it, maybe you could attend some form of family therapy where you would be able to express your thoughts and feelings to each other with someone else who is there to listen and guide you both to improve your relationship with each other. You can call or chat with us anytime if you would like to discuss this any further.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It sounds like you're going through a really tough time, and it's important to talk to someone who can help. Please consider reaching out to a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health professional. You don't have to go through this alone, and there are people who want to support you. Your feelings are valid, and it's important to prioritize your well-being.
I have been through something similar with my mom and karate. The best thing for you to do is get a support system, while you might not be able to hang out with your friends and bf. Try calling them and if your mom takes away your electronics, try hiding a laptop to communicate with them. Until your mom realizes you are your own person, my mom realized that through me becoming a swimmer. she will never admit she is wrong. And try giving little signs.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
