My mother seems to find it easy to hurt us. Tonight, she targeted my sister and me over a trivial issue. She made us feel worthless by bringing up past mistakes and calling me 'evil.' After she provoked me to my breaking point, I finally criticized her, which left her shocked.

​She accused me of hating her. Even though I apologized immediately and tried to reconcile, she rejected me. When I pointed out that her words were also hurtful, she claimed that because she is a mother, she is 'sacred' and exempt from the same standards of behavior. It makes me wonder: does motherhood grant a right to hurt your children without accountability? Dealing with her feels impossible.
