To begin I would like to say that my mother is a wonderful person. For this article I will use her as a subject, I discussed using my grandmother who had Alzheimer's and was abusive both mentally and physically, but most of her abuse was related to the disease. My mother is not physically abusive but can be mentally abusive, although it doesn't happen every day or every second, but it still shows during the week. I believe the reason for this abuse is due to its power. This power seems to be created by the fact that I live under her roof, she gave birth to me and continues to provide for me. So as long as I continue to do these things, the power struggle between us will continue to be a problem in our relationship. After years of dealing with this power struggle and mental abuse, I now give up. If I disagreed on something small or big, I tend to fight for my voice, but after a while she will hesitate and then start crying or something, this in return makes me emotionally unstable and I give in to her wishes. It's happening yes...
