ladyblondie Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Dealt with alot of issues Im working on, my mom only person in my life is very unsupportive and very negative to me about everything I do. I can't afford to move out, becasue I lost my job several months ago, and finally just got a part-time job. But, she is making my life a living hell, very uncomfortable. No support she has giving me, and says I ruined my life with some of the choices, risks I have taken. I don't know what to do. Im 28.
Angel1111 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Maybe you can check out roommates.com and see if you can find a place to share rent with someone where it's cheap. Better than being where you are. Or, just let your mother lecture you and ignore her. Maybe she'll eventually stop talking. Or, when she lectures you, maybe you can just agree with her and say, "You know what? You're right. I did screw up." That tends to shut people up because they expect you to disagree or argue with them. She apparently just needs to be right, so let her be right. Maybe it'll give you some peace.

pinklili Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 It's a bad job market out there. Do what you can. Hang in there. Parents are difficult. They can be overly judgmental and overbearing. A lot of people can sympathize and relate to what you're going through. I'm going through something similar with my mom. There's no good solution other than do what you can to move out. Maybe you can stay with a friend. Maybe get a second part time job. Trust in yourself and push forward. I read these encouraging words somewhere: Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
