Is it pathetic??

Question

Growing up my mother was always my biggest bully. Physically and emotionally/mentally. Still to this day I have -120% self-esteem. My mom and younger sister are VERY strong physically. My mom use to hit is with the belt, her fits, just about anything and everything. My mom also has mental illnesses and serious anger and control issues. I am 20 and now married and live with my husband. My sister can take my mom on, but I can't. I am strong, but not as strong. I am the nerdy, geek, reading and video games kind of person. I was just told though that it is pathetic that I am still TERRIFIED of my mother. They said I am a weakling and need to grow up. Do you think it's pathetic that I am still scared if her?

Answer

You faced and still face the abuse of your mother mentally and emotionally. I can't imagine someone who would easily brush off what she did. I'm sorry for your awful abuse from her, you did NOT do anything wrong.
You're a way better person than I am. If I was in your position I would have no communication with my mother. You do not deserve such inhumane treatment.

Answer

You're not weak at all. You should not have to feel like you need to be physically stronger than your mom. She's supposed to be your protector. Not someone that breaks you down and hurts you. I would not want to talk to her or be around her anymore. I'm sorry you have had to go through this abuse! Ignore any haters talking shit.

Answer

Considering the abuse that you went through as a child, I don't think you're weak at all. I think that you do need to speak with a professional so that you can get all your feelings and emotions out in a healthy way. Because I have a feeling you just bottle up a lot of things, and that my dear isn't healthy. 
Hopefully you will get through this and will realize how strong you actually are. Good Luck
