My mom constantly makes fun of me and I've had it I'm 13 years old I I'm a guy get average grades and I DONT KNOW EVERYTHING. Recent events struck the match and put on the line but today the TNT exploded and I can't take it anymore. I've had therapy and my mom lied just so she can be right. She does this also. But the thing that lit the match was how she mocks me just earlier today, I was loading my dishwasher and there was this vegetable grater we had that we NEVER USED so I asked her. " where in the dishwasher can I put this?"she said "I can figure it out", so I said "but we've never used it and Evan if we have I've never had to put it in the dishwasher" then she started mocking my voice and saying stuff that really made me cry. And the worst part... I over heard her talking to a friend, she said," my method of parenting is to torment and tamper with there feelings so they will start acting mature. I told her I heard what she said and how the method made me feel. And she said she'll try something different. It didn't even last a week. I just gave up and started a journal but she keeps reading it and writing in it, then she uses
It to haunt me later in LIfe. so I have no choice but to use my
phone and make sure I keep it on me at all times I change my password frequently and make sure she doesn't touch it and if she does I go on my iPad and select it, copy it, then delete it and when she asked why I go on my iPad when she looks at my phone I say I need to check on a downloading app or remembered I had to do something I don't know what to do
I don't want to say your mom is bad or good, but obviously something is not working. I will take your word that she says and does this stuff.
If she reads your journal, maybe it's best you didn't have one. She is clearly hurting you by reading it and using it so either you try your best to stop using it, or find a really good hiding spot. Maybe in your drawers under some clothes, under your mattress, somewhere in your closet. Try and find a place where she wouldn't look or it would be hard to find.
As for the phone situation, keep it on you at all times and make sure you type in your password secretly so she doesn't see it. If you go to the bathroom, take it with you. If you go get something to eat, have it with you. And if you can't take it with you for some reason find a hiding spot. Wrapped in clothes in your drawers, under the mattress etc.
She shouldn't be treating you this way at all. Do you have a father in your life? If so, talk to him about it. If not, maybe a trusted adult, a friend? Continue to talk to your mom about how she makes you feel, and if you ever need more advice, I'd be more than happy to give some. [ theadvicegal's advice column | Ask theadvicegal A Question ]
