Question Posted Tuesday January 19 2010, 7:08 pm

I've never had an amazing relationship with my mum. She makes me feel useless and stupid, yet she treats my older brother like royalty! He can swear all he wants at her, she just laughs it off and I get moaned at for doing nothing!
When we were younger it was the same. I always got in trouble, even when it was my brother who caused it. I've been thinking recently and trying to figure out what triggered it. I don't remember hardly any of my childhood, but I remembered my mum hitting me a few times, it makes me feel so bad saying it out loud because it wasn't exactly the worse case of child abuse and I do love my mum, of course I do, but we've never had an open relationship. In my house, I've learnt that I can't have an opinion or say what I think because I just get shouted at and get given the cold shoulder from my mum and/or step-dad. No matter what. So if I'm mad/annoyed or whatever, I have to just shut up and keep it all in then have a rant to my boyfriend later on seeing as he's the only one I feel comfortable telling these things to.
Does anyone think that when my mum hit me when I was younger has anything to do with our relationship now? And how can I get to talk about this to my boyfriend (I do not want to speak to anyone else about it)? I think it'll seem a bit strange that I haven't mentioned anything relating to this in the past year we've been together, so how can I bring this up? :/

You could casually bring up the fact that you don't
get along with your family your mother in particular
and say that she has hit you in the past see what he says & how the conversation goes from there i'm sure seeing as he's your boyfriend he'll understand
and try to comfort you in anyway possible i don't think her actions in the past has anything to do with how your relationship is now your best option is to talk to your boyfriend about it since it's not healthy to keep everything your feeling bottled up to yourself it's better to talk if it makes you feel any better i don't get along with my father he
verbally abuses me
