My mom was yelled at all the time by her dad over the smallest things ("why can't you be as thin as the other kids?!?") So she screams at me for stupid things. My aunt even calls her " the other kid in the family". I hope to not become that when I have kids.

My mother was raised on a farm, with 8 other siblings. She didn't go past the 6th grade. Every day she was up by 430 and back home by 8pm and repeat, still had to clean the house spot clean and everyone got a whipping is one of them messed up. She promised herself she wouldn't do that to us. But it's like her life is on replay. Why couldn't she leave it all behind?

just dont keep the cycle going. learn yourself about developmental psychology and the effect childhood trauma had on your mother and will have on you. oh, and BIRTH CONTROL!!! don't have kids until you're settled, financially stable and mentally sound...you'd just be creating another kid with issues otherwise

My Mum was treated horrible by her parents. Her father would come home drunk and beat the shit out of her, she would be left to look after her two younger brothers and if they did anything wrong she was blamed, she wasn't even allowed to choose her own clothes. They made her leave school at 15 because she was "just a girl and will only get married and look after kids anyway" She broke the cycle with me and my sister, she let us have freedom but not too much that we felt we didn't have boundries, she worked her ass off to get us a good education at one of the best schools in the state. And yeah I love my Mum for how she could do that : )
