How do i deal with my mom talking about me behind my back. I've got her doing it several times and every time I get mad she blames it on me or my mental illness. I've repeatedly asked her not to but she keeps doing it
Hey dear, I’m sorry that you are dealing withthis. I hate it when people talk behind other people’s backs. It’s tough when someone close to you is doingit as well.
I don’t know how you talked with your mother, but haveyou had a serious conversation with her about it? Maybe try to explain to herthat it isn’t just your mental illness but that it truly hurts to hear thesethings being said behind your back. Try to tell her that it isn’t just yourmental illness that is making you mad because of this.
From the information I have gathered and from pastexperience, I would suggest trying to ignore her. If she is not going to stopand if you are ever going to deal with this then you are going to have to learnto ignore what she is saying about you. Try to, instead of getting mad when youhear her talking, remove yourself from the room and distract yourself with somesort of activity.
I don’t know exactly what your mom is saying about youbut I feel like she is doing it in your best interest. She probably isn’tsaying bad things about you. She is most likely just saying positive thingsabout you to her friends because she is proud of you.
If you find it really hard to deal with maybe you couldtry to talk with somebody. You could tell a friend about it and they could giveyou advice and let you vent. Another option is talking with a therapist. Atherapist won’t judge you and can give you valuable advice on this subject. Adoctor can recommend you to a therapist if needed.
I hope that this info can help you. Just know that yourmother cares about you and is not purposely trying to hurt you. Maybe talkingthis out with someone could help you deal with it. Good luck :D
