How do you know if your mother is a toxic mother?
When that happens, your mom will completely ignore you or shut down until you give in or agree. A toxic mother also has a way of ignoring boundaries, whether that means she barges into your apartment, tells people your secrets, posts things online when you asked her not to, makes unhelpful comments — you name it.
Why does my mom give me the silent treatment?
My mom used to give the silent treatment when ever she would get angry, hurt, sad, etc. which thanks to my dad was more often than not. It used to hurt me because sometimes she would stop talking to me when she was mad at others.
What should I do if my mom refuses to talk to me?
If your mom is anything like this, she won’t either. If she truly refuses to communicate differently, your best bet, depending on your age and situation is to find a good therapist, or at least a trusted relative/friend who will keep your confidence, where you can talk about your feelings in safety.
Why does my mom criticize me for doing nothing right?
“If you find that you can’t do anything right, according to your mom, and you hear nothing but critiques this could be a sign of your mother struggling with her own maturity.” While it may be difficult to do, ignoring scathing comments from your mom may be helpful. Another option is to suggest you attend therapy together.
