Am I wrong for saying this to my mom?
My mom was a terrible mother. I didn't get everything I wanted growing up. I wanted acrylic nails, the latest socials, weave and piercings. All the other kids mom's allowed them to have those things. Mine, didn't.
I used to wish for a different mom everyday. I hated my mom. I wish she was like the other parents.
Im now 18. I told my mom that i'm not happy with her ways of parenting me. She hindered me. I wasn't a happy child. I told her I didn't become happy until my 18th birthday, when I could get piercings and tattoos. She got very upset at everything I said.
Am I wrong for feeling this way and saying this to my mom?
I told her when I have a kid, i'll be just like those kids mom's. Im going to be the mom I wanted.
I remember wanting a mom like this specific girl in my class because she had everything she wanted. Piercings, socials, acrylics, weave. She was living the life I wanted to live at 13.
Instead, my mom kept infantilizing me. Making me have childlike appearance.
