Do I have the right to hate my mother?

The self-narcissist woman who cared only about herself. She never shows any love to me since I was young, I'm planning to move out of her home, wish me luck.

Some thought I should love her but no because she did physically abuse me when I was younger and I still remember as if it was yesterday.

I hope you can find your way out--both physically moving out and emotionally moving on. Surprising how often people say this exact same thing on stories here about their narcissistic mothers...

@InHerShadow0110 BTW, is your user name a reference to her? If so, it would be nice if you changed it to get her out of your life. I know, not an easy thing, either way!

@CoffeeFirst Not a reference to her, is not always about her to be honest. But yes I am moving out of her home in April (this coming year).

@InHerShadow0110 Good to both points!

It is, of course, your right to feel however you want. Ultimately, though, you have to do what will help you in the long run and maintaining hate over a long time usually isn't healthy. For now, though, I think you do need to get out. I did and it took me a long time before the anger went away. I hope it's quicker for you.

@GlassDog Thank you.

I do wish you luck, and you certainly have the right to hate her, but I wouldn't - that just expends energy on her & she doesn't deserve even that.

That is a pretty stupid remark, advising her to do something that could land her in hail. @Greenbare

You have the right to feel any emotions you find yourself experiencing.

You do not have to feel love for your mother. You can even hate your mother.

The key is to not let that hate control you.

Once you get out it will be easier to heal.
