Toxic mom Advice? Long story but please read

Melanie

Long story short my mom is a millionaire typical Hispanic mom. She’s well off.

I got kicked out at 18 after high school because I was protecting my baby siblings because my mom is toxic and was telling them my dad doesn’t love them or us after they split(he does he’s a very good dad but works out of town).

Me and her always fought about my dad and growing up she always mentally and physically abused me, told me I was fat told me I was a terrible daughter dispute dedicating my life to raising my siblings and making sure they ate and were bathed and cleaned the house while she worked ( I didn’t mind at all).

I have an older brother (25) and she always spoils him and puts him on such a high pedestal. I’m 22 and when I lived with her she paid his university and every single bill and believed in his education but left me to work and pay everything by myself, which again, is fine I don’t mind.

So I went to a community college and she laughs about it and tells people “oh hopefully she gets her degree which I doubt, my son has his bachelors I’m so proud” but I don’t have the money to pay my education full time so I work.

Now, I will be getting my associates this fall and fast forward I haven’t been living at home because we have a better relationship like that.

Here’s the deal. I now work at her insurance agency with her and she pays me pretty good and I work all week.

She told me infront of coworkers “oh yeah my son(my brother) is so smart so hard working he is fixing things in the house and he will work all night , he’s so smart and dedicated”

I said “well I’m happy for him since that’s his full time job since he doesn’t have a real job(or has ever had one)”

She said “well unfortunately I don’t see that in you, you could never be as good as him”

Mind you. At 18 I started my own lash business where I was fully booked 12 hours a day making 300-500 a day. I stopped because I’m going for business and wanted to get experience and and realized you had to be licensed to do it so I stopped. I love it here in the insurance, I’ve learned alot.

The thing is, I don’t want to cut her off because I have siblings that I love so much and want to be around and she’s kept me from seeing them before and it kills me. I keep her around only Bc I want to see my 4 younger siblings...

But, she always brings me down at work and idealizes my brother and it breaks my heart because she dont see how hard I work with school AND work. I want to talk to her about it but when I bring ANYTHING up she calls me dramatic and shuts me up and screams at me. Idk what to do
