My mom is currently in the other room, having some sort of psychotic breakdown while cursing my existence. She throwing stuff, smashing things, and she nearly punched me in the gut earlier. This all happened after my former-alcoholic aunt came over to try to make amends with my mother, as well as drop off a gift for my little sister. My mom, apparently convinced that this gift was actually some sort of insult to her, began screaming extremely rude and hurtful comments at her for the next half-hour. Tired of it, I walked out of the bomb shelter that had become my room, intending to calm my mother down and politely ask my aunt to leave, with the promise that I would have a more personal conversation with her later.
Instead, my mother screamed in rage in the background while I listened to her twin tell me on and on about how sorry she was for the past couple years. After finally politely telling her that now was perhaps a bad time, I turned to my mom to face down one of the largest shitstorms I've seen from her in quite a while. Besides being repeatedly called a loser and told that I'll never amount to anything, I was also told that in her educated opinion, my sleeping disorder was self-induced, and that her constant anger was generally my fault.
Fed up with listening to her tell me what a piece of shit I am, I walked back into my room, and locked the door.
Though this tends to happen every few days, this is the first time I'm going out on a limb to ask anyone else
What the fuck do I do?
This could also be a general friend/family/whathaveyou venting thread, I suppose.
Condolences, dude. It's difficult when your parents are being the unreasonable ones and you have to be the adult to make up for their failings. Sometimes parents just lose it sometimes and can be reconciled with, but if this happens regularly for no reason it's unlikely your mom will change on her own.
You're going to have a right shitty time trying to make some kind of income so that you can live independently at the age of 16, especially if you're still going to school.
Moving in with a friend or family member could also help for the time being if that's a possible option.
Most likely though you'll have to put up with bullshit like this until you get out of highschool, and then from there get loans to start going to a university or college somewhere while you work. It will be a shitty year or two, but things will get better after that.
The most important thing right now is to just have a plan for your next couple years. Do you have some ideas on things you'd like to study or fields you'd like to work in?
My mother is similarly crazy, impossible to have any kind of constructive conversation, and its not so much that everyone agrees with her but they just don't even bother fighting it because its an exercise in futility. I have a laundry list of things she's done that I won't get into here.
If your mom is like my mom there's no fixing her, ever, because the first step would be for her to admit she has a problem and that's basically her admitting she's been wrong for years. I had to get out, turned 17 and left for college like the wind. I was even looking into legally getting myself emancipated prior to that but couldn't afford the fees so I rode out the storm, usually in my room like you did.
Staxeon on
Invisible nap is the best nap of all time!
No man should have that kind of power.(Twitter)
What is her situation? Are there money problems? Is she on meds? What is the history with your aunt?
Not excusing her behavior in the least, but is there a reason?
Also, I cant think of a worse forum to post this in, except for maybe 4chan.
give se++ some credit
it isn't that bad
somethingawful would be worse
and ya
se++ aint bad if you aren't retarded, and tommy aint retarded and seems to be stuck in a shitty situation
goddamn you people. where the hell is that sarcasm punctuation when I need it?
teefs uses ~~~~
so like, use that
because she is pretty much the internet embodied~~~~~~~~~
I can't do that. That is her thing. That would be like us showing up to a some kind of socialist rally wearing the same Che Guevara shirt or something.
Do you have a dryer, OR newspaper? You know, for when your mother in the bathroom and you gotta 'nate somewhere on the floor.
Set your fucking house on fire and kill your mom and possible but unlikely siblings (they did have you) but not your dad.
Go on dadventures until he gets tired of you and wind up in Florida.
Drink until he abandons you, which is a likely course of action.
Play banjo for cash and make jack vids for cash on the fly. Live off of subsistence ice cream.
Now you fat and old in Florida playing the banjo. Go to Virginia. They like your kind. Talk about "the rough times" between the incomprehensibly sad slaps of vocal artillary that leave your Marlon Brando-esque jowels covered in calloused ice cream, you'll have the sad contentment of a life built off of a sad murder that happened in middle America that made you the person you are today.

you should probably give up sarcasm
really, I have no idea where the sarcastic part of that comment was supposed to go
Shit I guess youre right. it wasnt sarcasm. I'm postive it wasnt irony. Cant be satire, although satire is basically sarcasm right? Need some kind of learned individual to help me figure out what I meant.

A scholarship somewhere is your best ticket out of there, in addition to being a good goal in general.
Next time she goes hysterical and starts acting like a pissed-off chimpanzee, slap her in the face as hard as you can, snap her out of that bullshit.
Then call her a silly goose, and take her to the doctor (or Thanatos) so he can "massage" away her hysterics.
A: Smoke more weed
B: Smoke less weed
C: Smoke the same amount of weed, keep grades up, LEAVE

ITS NOT YOUR FAULT
if you can hang on for two more years and then go away for college things will probably improve vastly
she may in fact be afraid of losing you like she lost your dad, subconsciously

I can't do that. That is her thing. That would be like us showing up to a some kind of socialist rally wearing the same Che Guevara shirt or something.
She also has yet to get a job.
