Nonstop neverending aggression towards me, but "Im not even allowed to talk anymore?!? Even THAT is considered scolding now? Bet you wish I was a mute, I should just go die". Rinse and repeat 1000x per day.
Guys, I cant mentally take this anymore, anybody have any advice/coping strategies?
Ideally beyond "well she lonley, just suck it up and ignore it". Im all out of energy for grey rocking
Its also neverending because we live together.
My parent does this every single day now. Whenever she wants to socialise, she scolds me over something. In the past it fucked up my mental state because I thought I was the worst person ever, only to slowly come to realise it doesnt actually matter what I do, she will always find something to nitpick about.
However she does this with the fevor of a priest calling upon a new crusade and its slowly killing me. Im worn so thin that the moment she opens her mouth I already brace internally. And I have gotten into the habit to only bark back answers because I just can not control my emotions any better.
Sometimes I wonder if it could be an onset of dementia. But then I remember "old timer shakes fist and yells at cloud"
