  Awe...Cry!!!  I'm so sorry for what you went through!  Back in the day, that was considered punishment, today it's child abuse!  I've gotten my fair share from my mother too.  It also still bothers me.  All in all, we have a fairly good relationship.  When I tell my Mother of those "beatings" she now acts as if it never happened and will point out how HORRIBLE of a child I was and ignore how horrible she was to all of her girls.  She took us everywhere, her and my Dad, but that doesn't make the scars go away.

  Where does it say we have to love our parents. I was not asked to be born and I do not feel I owe my mother anything. She decided to have kids and as a parent it was her duty to parent She loved to call me ugly, fat, stupid, worthless, a whore and the list goes on. I would hate any person for calling me these names so why should she be any different. Even today, I am 44, she tries to shoot me down any way she can so I keep contact to a minimal. Do I hate my mother? I have hated her all my life and I am not ashamed of it and either should you!

  my mother was like that and worse- and like you, to talk about the worse things that she did to me is too hurtful and it brings up terribly painful memories.  My mother stopped physically abusing me around 13 or so, but the comments and digs continue to this day, and I'm 37 and mother to 5 children.  When I worked outside of the home, she said "OH those poor kids".. not sure what she meant, as they were in school all day and by no means neglected- she tells me how to be a parent, she is very critical of me, she's mean- when my son got his Autism diagnosis, suddenly she calls me up and wants to have this relationship that we never had in the first place- ( I think it's a combination of old age and guilt).  so I visit her rarely, I rarely call her-  I can remember being a very young child, maybe 4 years old and praying to God to take her- can you imagine?  She has tortured me, yes, torture.. not discipline me.  There's a BIG difference. 
   
  It's funny, my kids are 4-18 and I've never raised my hand to them or called them any derogatory name- I love them so much, I can't imagine calling them ugly, fat, stupid, or hitting them!  I am a much better mother than mine, I just wish she'd die already!
