I was verbally abused by my mom till I was 16 and then I moved out. I have never stayed at my parents more than a week after that. Our relationship has been ok since. I was a angry person trying to please everyone and I get anxious if someone says something bad abt me. It took me a long while to realise it’s all due to my childhood and with my hubby’s help I have changed myself a lot. But these past few months..

My mom offered to help during delivery and she stayed with us from 2 weeks before delivery till bub ‘s 3 month. I have come to live with my parents for 2 months as my hubby had to travel out of country for 2 months for work.

Though she has helped a lot I haven’t forgiven or forgotten about the past. She’s not abusing me now but even a slight snide comment makes my blood boil and I’m yelling at her. She brings out the worst in me and I don’t like this version of me. I try hard to ignore but it’s difficult. My parents think it’s due to ppd so they’re putting up with it. May be it is but not completely. I had a dream this morning and it was something from my past and I woke up in tears thinking I was back there. I have no one to talk to about this and I don’t want to worry my hubby.
