Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I thought I'd been doing so well. But tonight, my mom took a bite of a crunchy food and I visibly reacted (I quickly shut the newspaper I was holding and it made a loud crumpling noise). She became really affronted, went up to her room, and started crying. I went up to try to get her to come and eat dinner, and our discussion came out with this information:She believes that it's her, specifically, who offends me. She's hurt that I think her manners are so poor. (Not actually what I think, but how she feels.)She said, multiple times, "You have a problem, it's your problem, and you need to get over it." I'm hurt that she's unwilling to empathize with me, and I told her that- no progress there.My parents both said that they feel I need psychological help; however, I'm not sure whether they actually meant that seriously or whether it was more of a vague threat. It sounds very petty and teenage, but my dad is on my mom's side in all this. He was uninterested in seeing my side.So I'm upstairs doing homework and crying and my parents are having a discussion (I'm sure all of you remember from your childhoods that discussions never end well for the children! ) and just very much need advice on how to deal with this situation. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
