[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been receiving verbal/emotional abuse from my mother for many years now. I didn’t think it was that bad until I look at my life now. I’ve never envisioned my future to be like this. Friends don’t recognize me now.

I graduated 2 years ago. I was very ambitious and had dreams of beginning my career and being successful. As usual, received insults, put downs, name calling, etc. One day, my mom lashed out at me for approx 5 minutes. She was yelling and swearing at me. Telling me I was a loser, etc. Then she ended by telling me that I’ll get nowhere in life and I’m useless. Also, I’m good for nothing. These words stung soo bad. It left a huge wound in my heart that hasn’t completely healed. As soon as I heard that, my future ambitions went out the window.

I kept replaying these words in my head. It’s like it defined me and I confirmed to that label.

Now, I’m unemployed and have no motivation. My ambitions are gone. People think I’m lazy and refuse to work. However, that’s not true. I have low self esteem, which in turn makes me feel crap about myself, which hinders me from setting goals. I want to know if someone has been through something like this.
