I will never be what you want me to be

I usually never get mad at anyone, it's hard to get me to be mad, but I guess some people see that as a challenge and go for it anyway. I would rather ignore someone than to be mad at them for something they did, that because first of all it's less stressful and second I know myself, and when I do get mad it's hard for me forgive. Even if I do somehow move pass it I will never forget what you did and how it affected me, my relationship with you will never be the same. My mother was so desperate to get something, anything out of me she didn't care hurting me in the process. That day she drew a line in our relationship, I can never go back and see her the way I use to.

The other day my older sister talked to me trying to fix things by saying "Mommy is hurt, she is sad, she feels like she let you down, and she often say Kevin(my little brother) thinks you don't love him"
At the time I belived it and thought about what she said, but the fight we had months ago changed things for ever, I can never forgive her for the things she said to me that day, it doesn't even depend on if I want to or not, I can't forget it, she took things too far that's that. I know her enough to know she could have lied about her feelings and my little brother's feelings to try and manipulate my older sister into getting me to talk to her again. Like when she lied about her ex beating her. She stepped on one of my brother's toy, fell and got a black eye, but lied to the judge and said her husband at the time gave her that. He wasn't perfect, far from it, he was a shit bag but he never hit her and lieing about that wasn't the right way of doing things. My older sister also talked about how our mother has been through so much like being so lonely she wanted to kill herself, growing up I was always left alone. Mommy was always out working and my older sister spent 90% of her time out with friends, the other 10% she was at home she would ignore me, would always say no to anything I ask her to do with me, and would constantly fight me. When I left my country I felt like in a day I had lost my uncles, anties, cousins and grand parents from both families, and only had my sister and mother, but they were never around eather, and I didn't even understand or know why I was always so sad or hurt. And it hurts in ways I don't think they understand when they'll give me a lot of crap about how my actions are affecting my little brother negatively when they never gave a shit about me growing up. And it also hurt as hell when she would say stuff like "I slaved myself to give you everything you wanted, to make sure you were happy", oh yea you tried I'll give you that, but that doesn't mean I had everything I wanted or asked for, or that I was even happy, and using the fact that you tried as an excuse to deminishe my feelings and needs is just horrible of you to do as a mother. If anything she made me feel like a creep by calling me a freak and saying I embarrassed her. Now she wonders why I don't come running with a smile every times she calls me, or why all of a sudden I am mad at her.
I would consider you old enough to understand as I would consider you to be able to understand what actions/ thoughts that you make after you consider.

“ … can never forgive her for the things she said to me that day, it doesn't even depend on if I want to or not, I can't forget it.”

You have to have a reason to forget, otherwise you will never forget those moments and events as your life unfolds. You have so many years ahead of yourself (please don’t think I am promoting age with feelings because that’s not where I am coming from)

Life is full of events, good ones and bad ones, that’s how life works for us all. Words spoken to us which hurt … don’t forget those words which we too can spit out either in anger or what we consider to be the truth as we know it. Life’s a two way street and often we can all cross the line.

Think ahead. Things you cannot change today may not necessarily mean won’t change in the future. What you cannot change right now doesn’t mean it will become a lifetime of bad feelings. Do what you can do for today and then let it go. Don’t waste too much time dwelling on something that you don’t want to change for whatever the reason but instead consider what might change … then let it go till next time.

If your Mother doesn’t want to change whilst you aren’t interested then for all intents and purposes neither your Mother nor yourself are going anywhere together.

Try not to be too final in your feelings of how you perceive things will turn out. If nothing else, the best you can do is do what you think is right and put things to rest in settling your thoughts and feelings without forever feeling the need to bring feelings back to the forefront. Don’t let your circumstances alone dictate your life

@Justbychance The future is open, but even if things do get fix someday I won't be able to forget this, a line was drawn and I wasn't the one who did it.
@jrcervin You are part way there in how you reply to another person here on this thread:[/b]

[b]“thing is that I have tried, over and over again I have tried, but I can't keep forgiving someone that keep making the same mistakes.”[\b]

She’s making the same mistake; you see and acknowledge that. And for as long as she makes the same mistake you’ll never walk away feeling any different than you do. In a likewise manner, she will continue to go on in this manner … as you also do. You have nothing to win here, you have nothing to lose which you continue to lose over and over again and you have nothing you can possibly gain. Do you see the pattern here?

Everything is set to carry on, the pattern never broken and the bitterness building to a ultimate, virtual mountain. What you can do is to either steer clear of her hurtful comments, don’t invite a hurtful comment or walk away from a hurtful comment. She seems to hold all the ‘hurtfulness’ in what she knows hurts you. You can actually gain more ground in turning away … then just as speedily walking away. Then? keep your distance for as long as you are prepared to wait, or, choose your time and place, or don’t bother going back at all. If needed, then repeat as necessary and walk away with something rather than nothing.

I know the feeling it's hard to let things go but if your mom is reaching out to you just try to bury things in the moment and maybe your relationship will start to heal with her.

@Lostpoet She even used to say to me I couldn't chew chewing gums because they are for girls, and real men don't chew gums..
