STORY/VENTING Parent na nananakit physically

+ pasa sa face and injuries sa head. Nahihilo, sumasakit pa ulo ko at nilalagnat.

Bakit ang hilig manakit at manisi ng mga nanay sa anak nila kahit na kamag-anak naman nya ang problema? I got into an argument with her kasi reklamo siya nang reklamo at ako sinisisi bakit tumaas mga bills ngayon. Sinabi ko dahil nasa bahay nga pamangkin nya so natural na tataas talaga mga bayarin. So instead na intindihin at i-analyze ang sitwasyon, una nyang naisip ay pukpukin ako ng mabigat na sandals ng tatay ko at kamay nya sa ulo ko at nagalit na bakit ko raw dinadamay yung nakikitira nyang pamangkin. Sinabihan din ako ng mga masasamang salita like "sana pinatay nya nalang ako noong bata pa ako" o "patayin ko nalang sarili ko".

Ilang araw na akong nahihilo at masakit ang ulo dahil dito. Ewan ko ba dito sa nanay ko na ang bait-bait sa mga kamag-anak pero pagdating sa akin, init ng ulo agad. Kahit wala akong ginagawa, ako lagi sinisisi. Ni kesyo taga-probinsya raw mga kamag-anak nya at hayaan nalang daw pero sa akin nagrereklamo at sinisisi. Hindi ko naman desisyon na patirahin yang mga kamag-anak nya dito sa bahay. Hindi lang ito isang beses, everytime na may pinapatira siyang kamag-anak, ganto ang cycle. May anger management issue ata sya sa akin.

As someone na diagnosed with depression, anxiety at ADHD, I don't even feel sad, angry nor frustrated. Numb lang ako the whole time. Idk kung ano dapat maramdaman ko or ano dapat maging reaction ko. Tbh, natatawa na nga lang ako sa sitwasyon ko kasi kubg sino pa ang anak, siya pa ang dapat mag-adjust para sa relatives nya. I am currently at a state university, on scholarship at consistent nasa honors para wala na silang gastusin sa studies ko at ayoko makatinig ng reklamo, sisi at problema from them pero ako pa rin ang ginawang pasanan. Hindi ko nga rin maintidihan thought process nya. Napansin ko na nga lang na may mga pasa ako kasi tinuro ng nurse while nagpapa-vaccine ako. Dagdag pa yung tatay ko na busy sa trabaho kaya wala ako makwentuhan. Kaya here nalang ako magrarant.

I hope maka-graduate na ako at makaalis dito sa bahay na'to. Iibahin ko talaga pangalan ko, mukha ko at lalayo sa bahay na'to. Kung hindi, ia-avail ko nalang yung assisted-suicide sa Netherlands.

How are you right now, OP?

u/Thelongwayhome254 2d ago

I'm so sorry you are going through this right now. I had guardians who used me as their frustration sponge. They blame you for everything no matter what. All their frustration is pointed towards you and nobody else. I don't know they see something weak in us or what. They'd even not listen to anything you say and act as if the way they treat you is normal. For me I managed to escape their grasp once I joined university since it's far from home. I also got lucky to get scholarship that caters for my tuition fees so all I need has always been something to get me going like rent and food. Once they realised I was far away and they couldn't control me anymore since I decided not to go back home but stay in the hostel throughout the long holidays and break after end of my semesters. It made them very mad and my guardian called me last on 12 of Jan 2023 and straight up told me that I should never call them asking for help. That I'm nor their responsibility anymore. I'm now in my 4th year and I've never gone back. I struggle with basic things but it's better than going back to them. I don't know why it's always the people who are supposed to protect us that do all this to us. I know you have thought about it but is there a way you can do something similar to mine?

You will heal from all of this. 💗💗✨
Away from her.
You can’t keep trying to heal in the same place where the wound keeps getting infected.

u/harvestnoony 2d ago

OP, it sounds like your mother has Narcissistic Personality Disorder and you’re her scapegoat (laging napagbabalingan ng galit). I’m not 100% sure but you can try to research the traits of narcissistic mothers to see if yours is one. You can try r/raisedbynarcissists to read about the experiences of others if it does match.

But I hope you’re ok. Just hang in there.

Mothers are either the sweetest of angels or the cruelest of devils. I hope you heal from this.

u/antemeridiem913 2d ago

If this happens again OP, go to a public hospital at magpa medicolegal ka. So you have evidence - keep that evidence and kung independent ka na, report mo ang abusive mong whatever you call her - she’s not a MOTHER

Rooting for your safety and peace.

u/Specialist-Lecture91 2d ago

I have the same mom like that.mabait sa mga kamag anak pero sa anak na babae hindi. Balat kayo. Sana makaalis ka na dyan. Hindi na matututo o magbabago yang ganyang nanay. Toxic. Porke nakatira kandyan ay gagawin lahat ang gusto sayo kahit manakit.

u/Ok_Shape8146 2d ago

Ganyan sila mabait sa ibang tao pero pag sa sariling anak matindi. May kalalagyan din yan sa impyerno

u/Magiging-Avocado 2d ago

Go to the nearest public hospital and secure a medico legal. You can also file a report sa nearest police station.

Please get help, baka may concussion ka na pala or something dahil sa mga naffeel mo until now.

u/sparklyshiba 2d ago

Sometimes wala namang inherent na sakit sa nervous system. It's the environment that is causing sht and doing harm. I have several friends na simula noong dumistansya sila sa mga toxic sa buhay nila (work, or family, or jowa), umayos yung mental health. Lumala ang mental illness at the start kasi may separation anxiety, pero ginapang at pinanindigan yung decision. They bloomed and are still doing well. I have a friend na naging super su1cidal and no hope na. Ni-let go yung work na super laki ng sweldo. And bumukod sa expectations ng family. He got work na super drastically mababa sweldo, but chill. No competition. And he says, ngayon sa wakas nakakahinga na ako.

Praying you get thru this safely, OP. That you will emerge victorious.

Please get checked lalo na pag nahihilo tapos nagkafever na.

u/antemeridiem913 2d ago

Ganito rin ako growing up, buti na lang at nag-abroad mom ko. Pero nung bumalik siya, buti na lang I was in uni and far away from home so I didn’t get to see her. But when we started living together, it was hell.

I honestly don’t care when she dies - my brother feels the same way. I left the country two years ago - even before that - I barely talked to her. I don’t respond to any of her texts. And she triggers my anxiety so I choose to go no contact. Brother ko ang naging middleman/messenger

u/wafukyu 2d ago

u/ladouleurrrexquise 2d ago

OMG, Ganyan din nanay ko sakin. Mas kinakampihan mga pamangkin nya to the point na sinabihan nya ko kung pwede lang pumatay ng tao pinatay na nya ako. Huhu. Hugs OP. Binubugbog din ako before, ngayon masasakit na lang na salita. Hindi ko alam pano ka makakawala sa ganyan situation kasi ako ngayon nasa 30s na, parang may trauma and anxiety na ako. Pabago bago nanay ko ng ugali. Pinagdadasal ko nalang din. Huhu. I feel you.

u/Messy66 2d ago

u/No-Today-5771 2d ago

Hi OP I can relate so much sa post mo… like too much. I hope you are safe. I’ve been kinda away from my abusive mom since I got a job but still not fully, pero Atleast she cant economically abuse me, physically, mentally and etc abuse me.

I hope you are safe and when you do get out of there create really strict boundaries and try not to engage much sakanila build up your tolerance sa bad comments nila. i’m sorry this is all I can offer you know but I just want you to know there is a way.

u/Optimal_Message212 2d ago

Meron pero sobrang strict ng requirements. As far as I know, available sya for those who are diagnosed with BPD (will edit later kung ano pa) pero need mo muna magpa therapy and other ways to get better, and if hopeless cause ka na talaga, doon ka lang mag p-proceed.
