I’m jealous. I’m jealous of the other girls who are super close with their moms. At youth group, so many of the girls frequently talk about how much they love their mom. It may not seem long but 4 years is a lot to live in a household feeling unloved. My mom constantly uses me as the punching bag for her and my siblings failures. It’s got to the point where I don’t know what to do. I can’t defend myself without it being seen as arguing. She gets mad at me all the time. I feel like I can’t be open with her. She doesn’t know anything about what I like or dislike. It’s like to her I’m not her daughter I’m just someone living in her house. She constantly complains about the care she has to do. She brags about doing the bare necessities for me while she goes above and beyond for my siblings. I wish we could get along. I’m so jealous of girls who are close with their moms. I know I should be grateful that my mom is even alive but sometimes I think it would be better if I just had my dad.
