I have a similarly quick to anger mother who thinks the whole world is against her and has frequent outbursts. So far she hasn't blown up at my son, but I can imagine how hurtful your situation must have been, with your son affected. I don't have any advice but I hope you find a solution that works for everyone. Just wanted to say you're not alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-conflict#post-2916479 Sun, 14 Jun 2020 22:27:13 +0000 bhbee 2916479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m so sorry, this sounds awful. Just wanted to say I totally understand and hope the counselor is a viable option to help you. You are a strong mama for dealing with this! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-conflict#post-2916478 Sun, 14 Jun 2020 21:20:58 +0000 winter_wonder 2916478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: this sounds so stressful. I'm so sorry. What about if you suggested family counseling? Would she be less likely to get defensive if it seemed like you guys were all going to work out issues rather than her going alone? I think a counselor would be a good mediator in this situation. Also, you would have the advantage of hearing things first hand rather than through her if she's going alone.</p> <p>The threats and yelling behavior would really bother me. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/family-conflict#post-2916463 Sun, 14 Jun 2020 13:26:19 +0000 macintosh 2916463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live with my mom, disabled DH, and DS (5). My mom had always had some emotional issues that cause occasional blow-ups. When we bought a house together I knew this could be an issue, but I hoped it would help the financial stress on both of us enough to get along better.</p> <p>We’ve been here for just over a year and today was an awful blow-up. She started off being mad that I made us late for a hike with my brother and sil. I tried really hard to make light of it because honestly I know they don’t care.</p> <p>The hike was fine, but on the way back she made a comment that made my precocious 5 year old speak up. He said “you hate everything, grandma”. I laughed because it’s soooo true. She’s extremely negative all the time. She got very upset instead of taking the innocent comment as a chance to reflect and she jumped very quickly to threatening to move out.</p> <p>This is the same crap she did when I was a kid with my dad (who was no angel) but when she made my baby boy cry with her threats I had enough and told her so. No more threats, it’s cruel! She proceeded to argue every angle and threatened again to leave me with a house so cannot afford on my own.</p> <p>She cursed, yelled, called me a terrible parent, all in front of a 5 year old. Now that we’re home she’s sulking. She thinks she’s the victim, but she’s the one we have to tiptoe around all the time.</p> <p>I. honestly don’t know what to do, but if she doesn’t agree to get some counseling and work in these issues I don’t think so can live with her anymore. I also need her help financially, so i don’t know which option is worse. :sad: </p>
