I'm 18 and I've known for awhile now that my mom is't "normal". I've recently heard a friend talking about her sister with Aspergers and her obsession with horses and it made me wonder about my mom. I looked it up and for the first time in my entire life I feel like I have my mom figured out. I came here with the intention of telling you guys about her and her symptoms and get some feed back since you can all relate. I'll try and make it as short as I can
- She has no friends and has always been painfully shy. When raising me and my brothers she literally saw no one except for us.
- She's overly sensitive and super paranoid. She always thinks people are plotting against her or talking behind her back or judging her.
- She's always been beautiful and model skinny and she NEVER stops talking about it. In fact I partly blame her for my eating disorder. Starting in kindergarden she would tell me how beautiful and skinny I was going to be when I was older just like her. She said I didn't need good grades or an education because being skinny and gorgeous was enough to get a man who could. When we'd go out, she'd always say things like "oh that mom doesn't like me because I'm so skinny, and she's fat" or "Oh that girl was mean to you today? She was probably jealous because you're so pretty an she's chubby and all the boys like you!"
- She's never had a real job in her life. She can't do simple things like use the internet or the phone and refuses to learn how yet she insists she still capable of getting a job when she needs it.
- Me and my family pretty much live in a dump because she can't clean up after herself. She also wears the same outfit every day.
- She has a very strange sense of speaking and weird mannerisms that I can't really explain
- She's OBSESSED with Irish Culture, Genealogy, Antiques, and her hometown. (I swear I know more about it than MY hometown) She forces my little sister to be in Irish pageants and compete in Irish dance
- She comes off as being sensitive and selfless almost like this childlike innocent little girl. She over emphasizes her motherly role and clings on to us and tells us shes the good parent and my dads the bad guy (he kind of is but he isn't. Hes has narcissistic personally disorder and I'll save him for another post).
- My brother was diagnosed with autism but with therapy he's 16 and he's pretty much grown out of it.
- She's stupid. Like not in a mean way, shes incredibly slow when it comes to learning things or talking to people. She doesn't realize how weird she is or that the things she's talking about are boring or bizarre or insensitive and people avoid because of it
Anyway thats not even beginning to explain her personality. I'm so frustrated with her all the time and I hate that I have to raise myself and my younger siblings and I hate that because of her I don't know how to make friends or emotionally open up to anyone and I hate that both my parents screwed me up and now I have to pay for it. But I mostly hate how besides all that I still love them and I want to know if I can fix them. Sorry it was long, thank you for reading
